In this context, she is twin‒armed, and her divinity is limited to accompanying her divine spouse. She holds a lotus in one of her hands and a pendant in the other. She has an elongated face with a prominent nose. She is adorned with a tall conical crown, mangalsutra, necklaces, armbands and a girdle. The folds of her dhoti fall like tassels on each side.
