A large painted figure of a fierce red-faced deity murti stands on a platform draped with a red and white striped cloth. The statue wears gold crown, large gold earrings, a gold chest ornament and green and gold dhoti, holding a sword and round shield. Green leafy branches frame it against an overcast sky, and a bare-chested man in white dhoti and cloth sits or kneels at the base near the platform. Dirt road and trees lie behind.
