A photograph of a grey stone sculpture of a standing deity murti on a plain octagonal base, set against a pale cloth backdrop. The figure wears a tall conical crown, an ornate patterned lower garment with pleated folds, and bangles on both arms. One hand is raised holding a small object near the shoulder while the other hangs at the side. The carving shows fine incised detailing on the crown, jewellery and drapery. No physical people are present; the page refers to Sacred Arts University work, but the image itself shows only the statue.
