A four-armed deity murti stands outdoors at night in front of a white cloth backdrop and a chain-link fence. The figure has dark hair piled high in a jata-style topknot adorned with a gold crescent moon and a gold crown, a red tilak on the forehead, and a teal and gold garment. Heavy gold necklaces, armlets and a waist ornament cover the figure, and the hands hold a trident, a serpent and a rod. This appears to be a statue or idol, not a living person.
