To the right, a statue of a long-haired sannyasi in saffron robes and rudraksha mala stands beside an oil lamp under a green-draped gilded arch. Green silk drapes and ornate gold carved arches frame the scene.

Flanking figures in red and gold attire and bead garlands stand on either side, and a shivalinga draped with marigold and red flower garlands sits in front.
