A standing figure in a rust-red and maroon robe stands between two large golden-orange sculpted guardian statues with multiple arms. He holds a silver trident in his right hand and rests his left hand on his hip, wearing layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, with long dark hair piled up on his head. He stands in front of a dark slate-grey wall hung with strings of beads and small brass bells and oil lamps, and a golden lion figure sits on a purple pedestal beside him. Warm orange lighting fills the arched ornamental doorway.
