The figure has long dark hair swept back, a red bindi and red face markings, and wears a leopard-print sleeveless top, an orange-brown dhoti with gold borders, an orange-brown shawl, and a long layered necklace of red and gold beads. Gold armlets are visible on the upper arms. The right hand rests on a red and silver trident held upright, and the left hand is on the hip. Small offerings, including a lemon-like fruit and flower garlands, sit on a tiered platform at the base.
