A dark stone deity murti stands in a dim shrine niche, its face and chest marked with white vibhuti and small red-and-yellow kumkum dots on the forehead and crown. Pink and white flower garlands hang over the shoulders, and a tall conical headdress rises above. The figure wears a cream and white dhoti with red-bordered edges and a draped cream shawl, holds a long metal staff or trident-like rod in one hand, and rests the other hand on the thigh. A faint halo-like stone arch sits behind the head. No living people are visible.
