She wears a red and gold traditional costume with a gold waist sash, gold blouse sleeves, a gold pendant necklace, bangles, and a white flower in her hair with gold headpiece. Her ankles bear black ghungroo bells and she stands in a bent-knee dance pose with both hands raised near her face. To the left, a white draped table holds a carved Ganesha figure garlanded with white flowers, with a decorated altar piece above. The scene is a dance performance, not a ritual.
