The form wears an orange turban-style cloth with a gold-bordered maroon-and-green sash, and a rudraksha mala with gold beads hangs across it. Garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and white jasmine drape the canopy and the figure, with fresh green leaves tucked at the top and a yellow flower at the base. Gold-tipped ornaments and a golden kalasha-like base complete the arrangement. No people are visible.
