A gilded metal statue of a four-armed goddess standing on a makara, a sea-creature with a long snout and curled tail. She wears a tall crown, a layered necklace, armlets and bangles, and a draped skirt with a decorated waist belt. Her upper hands hold a lotus-like object and a pot or vessel, while her lower hands rest near her waist. Behind her are ornate gold-coloured tiered pedestals and a dark red velvet cloth. The statue is a deity murti, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
