A black stone deity murti stands in a silver-framed niche backed by a bright magenta cloth, set outdoors among trees. The murti has multiple arms holding objects, wears a turquoise dhoti, a magenta sash and headwrap, and layered gold and beaded necklaces. Yellow and red marigold garlands drape its shoulders and arms, and flower petals lie at its base on a dark pedestal. Sunlit ground and a low orange wall appear behind. No living people are visible, and the figure is a statue rather than a person.
