Close-up photo of a dark grey stone deity murti with a carved crown and elaborate headdress, upright in front of leafy tree branches. The murti holds a damaru-like drum in one raised hand and a lotus-bud in the other, with a sculpted mudra in the lower hands. It wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over the lower body and carved necklaces and armlets. The white sky behind the foliage lights the scene. Stone sculpture, not a living person.
