A black stone statue of a seated sage or deity figure stands in an open outdoor shrine beneath a carved stone arch framed by tree branches. The figure wears an orange-saffron cloth draped over the shoulders and a saffron head wrap, with a garland of yellow and purple-magenta flowers hanging from the shoulders down to the base. The pedestal is dark stone with carved reliefs, and red-orange kumkum or vermilion powder covers the ground and platform around it. Leafy trees and branches frame the scene, and a tiled roof is visible beyond. No living people appear, and no identifiable a person depiction is evident from the statue's appearance.
