A seated figure in a red robe with long dark hair piled up and a gold headband holds a green leaf to the top of their head during a ritual. Heavy multi-strand gold beaded necklaces with a large gold pendant cover the chest, along with gold armbands and bangles, and a gold waistband. A gold chain swing hung with white jasmine garlands frames the figure, with an ornate gold and red backdrop behind and a tiger-striped cloth beneath. Eyes are closed and the face is smiling. The setting suggests an abhishekam or pushpabhishekam moment with flower garlands.
