A woman with blonde hair tied up bows her head low over an ornate gold-framed seat or peetha covered with yellow flower petals and scattered red petals. She wears a turquoise tunic and a beaded rudraksha-style mala around her neck and wrists. Behind her, a figure in orange and white garments is partly visible at the top of the frame.
