A photograph of a painted statue of a seated deity figure on a pale grey-blue pedestal atop a building parapet, with green foliage to the left against a pale sky. The statue has a pink-red body, a tall ornate crown, gold jewellery and a multi-strand necklace, one hand raised in blessing and the other resting open on the lap with white lower garments. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue, so it is a depiction of a deity murti rather than a person.
