A grey stone seated statue of a figure with a multi-headed naga hood behind its head, draped in an orange-saffron cloth over the shoulders and body, seated on a stone pedestal. A golden fringed parasol with a red pole is mounted above it against a weathered brick wall. Incense sticks in a pink-rimmed bowl, pink flowers and a tall streamer decorated with colourful tassels stand in front. No living people are visible, and the figure is a statue, not a person, so no a person candidate is shown.
