A black stone statue of a four-armed deity murti sits on a dark pedestal inside a silver-coloured ornate arch framed by carved panels. The figure wears a saffron-cream dhoti, a rudraksha mala and beaded necklaces, and a long red and white flower garland hangs across its chest. A cloth band is tied across its forehead, and it holds drums and other implements in its upraised hands. A turquoise satin backdrop fills the arch, with trees and dry leaves around it. This is a statue, not a living person, and no physical people are visible.
