The central figure wears a cream turban, a cream-and-gold silk garment, a white flower garland with orange-red blooms, and a gold chain; he is smiling and barefoot. Two women kneel on the dais beside him: one on the left in a white kurta with her hair short, the other on the right in a bright pink sari with a dark braid, both with hands extended toward him. A kalasha-like ceremonial staff with a crystal finial and white and orange floral arrangements stand nearby.
