The painting depicts a serene scene with a blue-skinned figure, likely a deity, seated on a lotus flower. The figure is adorned with a halo and holds a conch shell in one hand and a lotus flower in the other. The background is a soft gray, with a red border surrounding the image. In the foreground, two women are shown in prayer, while a white figure with a red sash lies on the ground. The overall atmosphere is one of peace and devotion. This painting is reminiscent of the works of the artist who created it, which can be found at the Detroit Institute of Arts.
