The deity depicted in a rare eight-armed form, seated in vajraparyankasana on a double-lotus pedestal, the face with three eyes and a ferocious expression, the red flaming hair flowing upward, the primary hands extended across the knees, the others stretched outward and holding a bow and an arrow, a kartika and a looped rope, the deity wearing elaborate jewellery and clad in coloured garments finely detailed with floral scrolls and rosettes, surrounded by further emanations of Kurukulla and a variety of retinue deities.
