A dark stone statue of a deity stands in an ornate white arched niche with carved floral and figural borders, set outdoors among trees and bare earth. The figure wears a red dhoti and a red headcloth, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and a white bead-and-gold necklace, and holds a trident-like staff and other ritual objects in multiple hands. Red and pink garlands and yellow marigold flowers drape the statue, with flower petals scattered on its base. Behind it hang orange and white draped cloths edged with gold trim. The statue is a murti, not a living person.
