A large, brightly painted white marble statue of the elephant-headed deity Ganesha seated cross-legged on a pink lotus pedestal. The deity wears an ornate gold and red-jewelled crown, gold necklaces, and a yellow dhoti with a green and white patterned sash. Its four hands hold an axe, a silver-and-green serpent, a sweet ball, and a pink lotus flower, with the raised palm of a blessing hand. A small brown mouse with a gold collar sits at the base, and a red flower rests on the lap. The murti stands against a cream backdrop with gold drapery at the left edge. This is a photograph of a statue, with no people visible.
