The image depicts three figures against a yellow background. A woman stands in the center, wearing a red sari with white dots and gold jewelry, her dark hair styled in a bun. She is barefoot. To her left, a monkey holds an uprooted tree with green leaves. The monkey has a black face, white body, and black tail, and wears black shoes. To her right, a man with blue skin, a yellow crown, and a yellow and red outfit holds a sword in one hand and grasps the woman's hair with the other. He wears a large black and white necklace and a black circle on his hip.
