The statue depicts Shiva, also known as Subrahmanya, with four arms, seated atop a circular lotus pedestal. His arms are divided at the shoulders, showcasing his divine attributes. In his rear right hand, he holds Goddess Shakti delicately between the first and second fingers. The front right hand is posed in kataka-mudra, as if grasping an arrow. The rear left hand, which originally held a vajra (thunderbolt), is now missing. The front left hand is in the posture of holding a bow. This arrangement highlights Shiva's role as a warrior deity and his association with divine power and protection.
