The main figure wears an orange turban and an orange garment, holding a trident-like staff and a small drum or rattle, with a female companion in red and yellow ruffled dress and gold necklaces beside them. In front stands a white Shivalinga-like form draped with a garland of bananas and red flowers, surrounded by a yellow marigold garland, with a seated white statue in lotus pose below. Brass oil lamps flank the altar, and white powdered offerings, bananas and green fruits lie on the floor. A white-clad standing statue stands in a golden niche on the right.
