A man in the centre wears a rust-red turban, rudraksha-style beaded and gold necklaces, and a dark red garment, and carries a silver trident and walks beneath a dark embroidered umbrella with gold fringe held aloft on a silver pole. Two women in dark red saris walk to the left, one holding a silver staff topped with a flame-like finial, and another man with shaved head in a dark red garment with a beaded necklace walks at the right edge, lit by a bright blue-white light. Behind them, a gilded deity murti or decorated chariot with flowers and a painted cloth canopy is visible.
