The figure wears a tall golden crown, a gold-and-jewelled necklace set with blue stones, a wide jewelled waist belt, and a teal and gold brocade sari. Its raised hands hold objects, and its face has painted features with a red kumkum mark. Brass oil lamps stand on a red and white striped floor covering in front, and a red and gold umbrella, marigold garlands and a colourful painted pillar appear behind. No people are visible in the scene.
