This detailed mythological painting, likely executed on a textured surface resembling sand art or a mural, depicts a central multi-armed deity flanked by two subordinate semi-human figures. The art style strongly aligns with traditional Balinese or Javanese Hindu iconography. The central figure, positioned in the upper-center, exhibits light brown skin, an elaborate golden headdress with a prominent spiral motif, and ornate golden arm and torso embellishments. This deity possesses at least four arms, with two extended dynamically outwards and two bent inwards. Its countenance is stern, with elongated eyes and a slightly open mouth. A patterned blue and white lower garment is visible. Below the central figure, two robust, light-brown-skinned, semi-human figures are positioned in active, crouching stances. Both feature grotesque facial expressions with heavy brows, bulbous noses, wide mouths revealing teeth or fangs, and large eyes. Each wears a blue and white checkered loincloth and has patterned blue fabric adorning their shoulders and upper arms. The figure on the right is distinguished by a single flower placed behind its right ear and interacts with a large, partially visible white or light grey feathered structure on the far right. The figures are situated on an undulating foreground composed of stylized blue and brown forms, suggesting mythical clouds or terrain. The background is a plain, light beige or off-white, featuring scattered, indistinct blue and brown ovoid shapes and faint horizontal lines of illegible script. This artwork is located in the city of Pokhara, Nepal.
