A framed gold-leaf and jewel-encrusted painting of a female deity, shown with a raised right palm in abhaya-like gesture. She wears a jeweled crown, a red sari with gold border and a blue blouse, and a multi-strand jeweled necklace. Behind her is a maroon quilted backdrop with gold studs, flanked by gold-embossed lion-head pillars. The image is a tanjore-style painting rather than a live person, and no physical people are visible.
