A white painted stone statue of a deity stands in a blue niche atop a temple gateway, holding a tall staff in its right hand and wearing a crown. Yellow and red flower garlands drape over its shoulders and torso, and a dark beaded rudraksha-style mala hangs at its chest. A short wooden beam crosses the foreground. The statue is a murti and not a living person.

A photograph of a life-size decorated figure of a deity standing before a painted backdrop of stylised purple and grey flowers and foliage with green leaves in the foreground. The figure wears a tall green and silver crown with a sunburst halo, a white vibhuti line and red bindi on the forehead, and jewelled gold and silver necklaces with green and purple stones. A white jasmine garland hangs from the shoulders, and it holds a gold vel-shaped spear with a magenta gem. The figure wears green and gold striped dhoti-style lower garments with silver anklets.
