She holds in her right hand a lotus stem with the bud still closed, and she does not wear a breast band – these two attributes being identifying attributes allowing the image’s differentiation from Sri Devi. She is dressed in a long, striped dhoti fastened around the waist and her body is tilted to the left from the hip, creating an elegant curve while her left arm is hanging down on the side of her body. She is smiling welcomingly.
