A golden statue of a seated figure is decorated for worship. The figure wears a maroon and gold turban with a pearl-strung ornament, a blue silk garment with a maroon and gold border, and layered pearl and jewelled necklaces. Yellow and red flower garlands hang from the shoulders. One golden hand is raised in blessing. Beside it on a brass tray are fruits, yellow and red flowers, and a small oil lamp, with incense sticks in a brass dish. A brass trident and a copper vessel stand to the left against a golden arched frame and maroon draped backdrop. The image is a dated timestamp from Salem, Tamil Nadu.
