A framed painted panel mounted on a wall in an interior, below a fluorescent tube light. The painting shows a multi-armed deity in gold crown and gold garments holding objects in several hands, inside a pale circular halo. Beside it, several figures with gold crowns and a dark cow stand on a light ground; a bare-chested devotee in white cloth stands at right. At lower left, two kneeling figures tend a small offering or pot. Blue-grey and gold tones dominate. Devanagari script text is visible on the wall panels to either side. Only painted figures appear, so no physical people are present.
