The female figure wears a pink and gold sari with a green skirt, silver jewellery, flowers in her hair and a long black braid. Both are gilded and their hands are raised in blessing. The arch is topped with embroidered paisley motifs and a central gold crown ornament. The image shows a deity murti, not a living person.
