A black stone statue of a seated deity murti is the central subject, framed by an ornate silver arch decorated with carved peacock or swan motifs. The figure wears a red headcloth, a red dhoti-like garment, layered white and red beaded necklaces, a pendant and a jewelled red and silver waist belt. Garlands of red, yellow, orange, purple and green flowers drape over both sides of the statue. A bright yellow cloth hangs behind it, with green trees visible at the edges. This is a statue, not a living person.
