A dark stone murti of a multi-armed deity seated in a central frontal pose against a shimmering saffron and gold cloth backdrop. The figure wears an orange-red turban with a gold and ruby ornament at the forehead, and is draped in a red polka-dot garment with gold dots, a green sash at the waist, and many strands of brown rudraksha malas. Gold jewelled necklaces, gold armbands and bracelets adorn the figure, and thick garlands of yellow and magenta flowers hang over both shoulders down to the base. One upper hand is raised in abhaya-style blessing, another holds a trident-like staff, and the remaining hands rest with a snake-form object. A partially visible gold ornament sits at the lower left. Deity murti, no living people visible.
