He wears a maroon robe with a gold border, a long white and red flower garland, and a bead necklace; his arms rest open on the throne armrests. Two women in white and cream saris kneel at the base of the throne, and a dark-haired woman in a green-bordered sari sits at lower left, raising their hands in devotion. Hanging oil lamps and dark beaded strings hang in the shrine.
