A life-size figure stands in front of an ornate gilded arched backdrop and a gold-carved throne-style seat. The figure wears saffron-orange draped robes, a dark rudraksha-bead band across the chest and waist, bead bracelets on the arms, a red bindi, and a long necklace. It holds a silver trident (trishul) in the left hand and a tall dark staff stands at the right. The backdrop is white and red with a wooden paneled wall above. The figure appears to be a sculpted or wax-style depiction rather than a living person, and the image shows a stage setting with a pale pink cloth behind.
