A black stone deity murti, shown four-armed and seated, is the main subject against a bright magenta cloth backdrop framed by an ornate silver arch. The murti wears a light blue and orange turban with a peacock feather and pink flower, an orange garment, layered rudraksha and brown beaded malas, and a gold pendant. Red and yellow marigold garlands drape its shoulders and arms, with pink and orange flowers laid at its base. The arms hold a drum-like and other ritual objects, and a red tilak marks the forehead. The image appears to be a padapuja-style offering to the temple murti.
