A black stone statue of a four-armed deity murti stands in an ornate silver-coloured arched shrine framed by green trees. The figure wears an orange saffron wrap draped over the shoulders and an orange turban with a red tilak mark on the forehead. Long garlands of white, yellow, purple and red flowers hang from the shoulders to the base. Two of the hands hold a trident-like staff and a drum-like object, while the lower hands rest in mudra poses. A small oil lamp and offerings sit at the base of the plinth. No physical people are visible, and this is a photograph of a statue rather than a living person.
