Behind him is a golden arched frame decorated with red, yellow, green and white flower garlands, holding a pink-clad Ganesha deity murti under an orange cloth. A golden vahana with a bird-like form stands on a wheeled wooden base in front of the frame, and a multicoloured tasselled canopy hangs overhead.
