A small doll-like figure dressed in a green silk sari with gold-trimmed border and a red turban sits on a bed of green grass in a decorated display. Behind it, mango leaves spill from a potted plant, and two ripe yellow mangoes rest on silver-wrapped blocks. Scattered orange marigolds and pink petals decorate the arrangement, with a painted rural landscape of dry fields as the backdrop and a gold figure partly visible at the right edge. No physical people are present, and the arrangement appears to be a ritual tableau for the event.
