A large bronze-coloured seated deity murti, four-armed and cross-legged in a meditative pose, sits on a wooden platform beneath a cream cloth canopy at an outdoor worksite of bare earth and bricks. It wears a tall jatamakuta-style crown, a layered necklace and armbands. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti walks past on the right, and a bare-chested worker in a white vest and red headcloth stands behind the statue, with another worker crouched at left near a metal pan. Green trees fill the background. The statue has no clear dress colours beyond its metallic finish.
