The figure has outstretched wings, a tall conical crown, a white-and-red urdhva tilaka on the forehead, and a mustache. Garlands of green leaves, yellow flowers, and magenta roses hang around its neck and shoulders. A small golden serpent is coiled beside its arm. Behind it stands a white tiled wall with a shelf holding small colourful figurines and plastic containers. No people are visible.
