A large festival image of the goddess Durga is centred in the frame, with her multiple arms raised and holding weapons, flanked on each side by a smaller white-clad goddess figure wearing yellow marigold garlands and elaborate white crowns. The central deity wears a white sari with red accents, a red bindi, and a yellow flower garland. Behind them is an ornate white decorative arch with red and blue painted panels. In the foreground a flame burns in a dark metal oil lamp, and small demon-like figures with green and red faces appear at the bottom edge. No people are visible; the figures are sculpted murti.
