A four-armed bronze-toned deity murti stands before an ornate gold carved backdrop with white cut-out panels. The figure wears a magenta and orange sari with gold borders, a jewelled orange and white turban-like headdress, large gold earrings, and a jewelled belt. Its hands hold a trident-like staff, a conch-shaped object, a small kalasha-like vessel and a curved implement. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue.
