The figure wears a red-pink draped garment and a red-pink turban with lavender trim, a rudraksha-style bead mala with a jeweled pendant, and garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers hang from the shoulders. One hand holds a small drum-like object, another raises a fist-like gesture, and the lower hands rest on the knee. A small red flower lies at the base. The figure is a deity murti, not a person, and no physical people are visible.
