A large blue-skinned deity murti with black braided hair, a red tilak, and a tongue protruding, the figure wears a white and gold decorated garment and a tall white crown with gold accents. Its red-tipped hands are raised in mudra gestures, adorned with gold bangles and red fingertips. The murti stands in a workshop or storage room with metal shelving, drums, and steel pots around it. Its iconography suggests a fierce goddess form, Kali-like, though not certain. No physical people are visible.
