Detailed Description
This vertical rectangular painting depicts a seated, light-skinned figure with multiple arms, framed by a gold border. The central figure is shown with legs crossed and hands resting in their lap. They wear a blue robe with intricate patterns, a red skirt, and numerous pieces of jewelry including necklaces, armbands, and bracelets. A tall, ornate crown adorns their head, and a green circular halo is visible behind their head. Two primary arms are extended, with the right hand holding a white flower with green leaves, and the left hand making a gesture. Two additional arms are visible, positioned slightly behind the main arms. The figure sits upon a pink lotus blossom, which rests on a green base. Below the lotus, a stack of colorful, rounded shapes, primarily red and green, forms a small mound. The background behind the figure is a dark blue sky filled with white, wispy clouds. In the upper left, a red circular object with rays is visible, while in the upper right, a white star-like object appears. The painting is bordered on the top and bottom by solid gold, and on the sides by gold with dark blue, stylized patterns.
