A silver-toned figure, a statue or murti rather than a living person, sits on a dark red backdrop framed by ornate metal panels. The figure wears a red and magenta silk sari-style garment with gold-edged borders, a pearl-strung waist belt, layered pearl and jewelled necklaces, and large earrings. It holds a trident in one raised hand and a gold-banded staff in the other, with a peacock-feather fan behind. A small oil lamp with a flame burns at the lower left. The figure has a crescent and jewelled ornament on its crowned hair and a vertical tilak on the forehead.
