A dark grey stone statue of a serpent-hooded figure stands outdoors in front of a grey breeze-block wall. Five cobra hoods rise behind a carved head wearing a tall ornate crown, with a small figure in ornamented jewellery and hands pressed together in anjali mudra. Coconut palms, shrubs and green leaves surround it on a dirt ground, with a red building visible beyond the wall. The statue appears to be a naga or serpent deity murti.
