A dark grey stone statue of a winged deity figure stands in prayer pose on a stepped rectangular pedestal against an orange brick wall, set on sandy ground. The figure has palms pressed together at the chest, a tall conical crown, large feathered wings with scale-like patterning, cobra motifs on the upper arms and waist, and a carved dhoti with a sash. This is a deity murti, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
