With her golden body blazing with the splendour of a thousand suns, seated on her lion vehicle, Durga is one of the most spectacular of all personifications of Cosmic energy. Devi, in her 'saumya' or benevolent form, looks serene and powerful. In her numerous hands she holds a mace, a sword, bow and an arrow, a trident and a conch shell. Her many weapons underscore the idea that the goddess incorporates the power of all the deities. Dressed in a green blouse and a red saree, she looks a perfect picture of kindness. Adorned in jewellery and an elaborate crown, she is beautiful. The crown and jewellery studded with glass stones lends three dimensionality to the painting.
The tiger wears a leash and a rich overcloth on which the goddess is seated comfortably. The face of the tiger looks fierce, what with the staring eyes and sharp fangs.
The background is plain except for the niche in which goddess Durga is placed.
