A gilded murti of a seated deity with a black face, tall crown, and vibhuti-style tilak, seated on a richly carved golden throne against a backdrop of golden and dotted brown-and-gold draped fabric. Yellow marigold garlands and a white flower garland hang over the chest. One hand holds a staff-like implement, another is raised in a mudra, and the right leg is bent in a relaxed pose. No physical people are visible; this is a statue or deity murti, not a person.
