She wears a silver crown, layered silver and gold jewellery, and a red skirt with a gold border, holding weapons including a trident and a spear. A colourful fringed umbrella canopy with a green and red floral motif is set above her, and a thick garland of yellow marigolds alternating with red, green, white and purple flowers arches around her. A gold ceremonial fan stands to the right against a black curtain, and an orange backdrop with decorative motifs sits behind. No people are visible.
