Kalaketu Receiving a Boon from the Goddess Chandi
The image depicts two women. The woman on the left is kneeling with her right knee on the ground and her left leg bent in front of her. Her right hand is raised to her face; her left hand rests on her left knee. She has dark hair pulled back into a bun and adorned with a long, curved black ornament. She wears a red top with short sleeves, a red skirt with a green border, and silver jewelry, including a necklace, earrings, and bracelets. The woman on the right stands with her weight on her right leg and her left foot slightly raised. Her right hand holds a red object, possibly a conch shell. She has long, dark hair and wears a red sari with a purple blouse. Her outfit is complemented by multiple strands of silver necklaces, large silver earrings, and silver bracelets. A crown-like headpiece sits atop her head. The background of the image is a light beige color. At the bottom of the image, there appears to be some writing in a non-Latin script.
