A large dark stone statue of a multi-armed deity seated cross-legged on a rocky pedestal, draped in orange-saffron cloth with a matching orange turban and red tilak. Layered rudraksha beads and a silver-toned multi-strand necklace with a central pendant adorn the chest, and red-and-yellow rose garlands hang from both shoulders. The upper hands hold a trident-like weapon and a drum, while the lower hands are in abhaya and a seated gesture. Carved relief figures decorate the base in front of a bright magenta cloth backdrop. This is a sculptural depiction, not a living person.
