The figure has long dark hair, wears a green-and-gold beaded necklace and multiple malas, bangles, and a green bodice over a red-orange draped skirt, with a chain-like ornament hanging at the side. Behind the frame, yellow and orange flames glow against a stone-textured backdrop, with a floral garland strung across the top. Red and white geometric kolam-style panels and draped curtains frame the set.
