He has a rudraksha-style red bead mala and gold necklace. A standing attendant in orange robes holds a tall ceremonial umbrella with red, yellow and blue panels and fringe above him. Another attendant in orange kneels at the right side of the throne. The throne is decorated with marigolds, orange and purple flowers, palm fronds and garlands in yellow, orange and white. A golden trident and a ceremonial staff stand at the right. In the background, steps lead down to water where other people are bathing in the pool.
