A small standing figure in orange robes stands at the right of the shrine. In the foreground a man with a shaved head wears an orange-red dhoti and bare chest, facing the shrine, and a partial figure stands at the far left edge. Stone pillars carved with figures frame the scene, and a red curtain hangs at the left.
