In front, a small white figure in an orange robe and orange headwrap sits on a white-draped platform beside brass oil lamps and a kalasha. On the right, a seated man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on a gilded throne-like chair facing the shrine, with eyes closed in meditation. Brass lamps and gold-tipped posts frame the scene, with trees visible beyond the railing.
