The central figure wears a jewelled golden crown, a green and orange silk garment, layered beaded necklaces and gold armlets. A silhouetted person in the foreground holds a tiered brass aarti lamp lit with many flames toward the figure. Oil lamps stand on brass stands at the sides.

Multicoloured flower garlands in red, yellow, purple and white arch over the figure. Brass lamps and gold-toned floral metalwork frame the scene. The person smiles and raises one hand.
