The four-armed figure wears a tall crown set with red and green stones, a bright orange tilak with a red dot, a gold necklace, a red rose on the chest, and a red-and-gold skirt. Strands of green and red jewelled garlands and white chrysanthemum flowers adorn the figure, with a gold waist belt. A deep maroon cloth backs the niche. A sign reading BHARAT is partly visible at the top, and the gilded walls suggest a shrine setting.
