In the foreground, a gilded golden throne with red cushion and wooden staff sits to the left. A single standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, faces the shrine with his back to the camera, appearing to be a devotee or priest. No a person candidate is clearly visible; the standing figure's back is turned and his features are not visible.
