A figure in a reddish-brown ceremonial robe with a matching shawl and layered rudraksha malas stands holding a silver trident, flanked by two large orange-toned guardian statues with multiple arms. A rudraksha mala and golden necklace adorn the chest, a crown-like headpiece sits on the head, and the figure rests a hand on the hip before a golden throne-like seat with lion heads and a striped tiger-print cloth. Hanging bells and chains frame the dark stone backdrop, and a golden lamp stands in the foreground under warm orange lighting.
