The four-armed Shiva is seated in ardha padmasana with the primary right hand raised in abhaya mudra while the rest hold his attributes the mala, trishula, and damaru, his body richly adorned with beaded necklaces, a long gracefully flowing sash, and heavy earrings. He is wearing a jatamukuta and foliate crown, backed by a petal-bordered nimbus. Uma is seated on his lap in lalitasana and similarly dressed, her right hand held at the chest while the left is lowered in varada mudra. The divine couple framed by an arched mandorla with lotus petal and foliate borders.
