Towering multi-armed goddess murti with an ornate golden and jewelled crown, holding weapons, rides a roaring lion whose mane is brown; a blue-skinned figure stands beside it. Below, a seated man in rust-red robes with rudraksha malas and a multicoloured flower garland sits on a leopard-print cushion on a decorated golden platform, flanked by two women in saffron and pink saris, one under a pink sequined umbrella. A bright light glows in the dark sky.
