The deity is seated on a green and yellow floral-garlanded backdrop, with red and white garlands draped around the arch. The ornate silver-toned base is decorated with small figurines and white cloth. A man in a light shirt stands at the left beside a lighting stand, and dim figures are visible at the bottom edge. The scene is lit by bright white lamps against a dark sky.
