A figure seen from behind stands on a striped woven mat in a dimly lit hall filled with haze. The person has long black hair falling down the back, wears a leopard-print garment over the upper body and dark trousers, and holds a tall golden staff in one hand while the other hand rests on the hip and a hand covers the eyes. Behind them a large silver sculpted deity murti with a crown, pearl necklaces and multiple arms sits on a leopard-skin throne, flanked by a carved golden wall and red and orange draped cloth. A trident is mounted on the left wall.
