Finely carved standing in samabhanga on a rectangular plinth, he is dressed in voluminous robes draped across both shoulders, naturalistically detailed with U-shaped folds that reveal the contours of his powerful body, while his right hand holds the sleeve of his robe. The face sensitively modeled with a benevolent expression and heavy-lidded almond-shaped eyes, rosebud mouth, and full cheeks flanked by elongated earlobes. The hair arranged in wavy locks rising over the ushnisha.
