A frame for this picture is formed by two lamps hanging on either side of the image. Another effective aspect is the pale nimbus around the head of Ganesha. This black-bodied Ganesha wears a white lower garment, making for an interesting contrast. True to iconic representations, one of his tusks is broken. He holds a lotus and an elephant goad in the upper two hands. The lower right hand is in a gesture of blessing and the left one holds a bowl of modakas. The trunk of the heavily bejeweled Ganesha is hanging straight, turning towards the right at its end. The end of the short trunk is coiled seemingly balancing a modak. He is seated cross-legged but the feet are neither human nor do they absolutely resemble those of an elephant.
The black of Ganesha's bosy almost blends into the dark brown base. The pale-colored halo highlights the face though. The white dhoti with crushed lines stands out as very attractive.
