The sculpture depicts Vishnu, a male figure with four arms, standing barefoot on a rectangular base with a green patina, wearing a crown, earrings, and a necklace. He holds a diskus, a conch shell, a sword, and his fourth hand is lowered. A flame-like design tops the oval arch behind him. A large halo surrounds his head. The sculpture is gold-colored with intricate carvings on the arch. The background transitions from dark gray to light gray.
