Seen from behind, a figure with very long dark hair wrapped in a rust-red headwrap stands in a dramatic staged setting. The figure wears a leopard-print garment with a rust-orange sleeveless vest, dark beaded bracelets on the upper arm and wrist, and holds a silver trident-like staff in one hand while the other rests on the hip. Behind is a large reddish sculpted deity murti adorned with layered silver necklaces and jewelled arms, and stacked folded fabrics in red, maroon and orange line the left edge.
