The Parvati figure wears a blue embroidered sari and jewellery. In front sits a white figure in a yellow robe and orange turban, with a green-garlanded neck and a raised hand, possibly a statue or murti of a devotee-saint. A red cloth backdrop and a small framed shrine image appear at lower right. A date stamp reads 12-07-2008 along the left edge.
