Sridevi, the spouse of Vishnu is elegantly poised in a tribhanga pose on a double-lotus pedestal. Like the consort goddesses, she is twin armed, and her divinity is limited to accompanying her divine spouse, Vishnu. She is holding a lotus in one of her hands, while the other is holding a pendant. She has an elongated face with a prominent nose. She is adorned with a tall conical crown, mangalsutra, necklaces, armbands and girdle. The folds of her dhoti fall like tassels on each side.
