Seen from behind, a person with long dark hair wrapped with a rudraksha mala and a saffron-orange garment faces a large idol of the goddess Kali against an orange and red tented backdrop. The dark-skinned deity has a crown, multiple arms, a raised trident and a necklace of skulls, with severed heads at the base. A second hand holds a trident-like staff at the right edge. The viewer sees the back of the head and shoulders in the foreground.
