Behind him stand dark stone statues, including a seated Nandi with a yellow-and-orange marigold garland and several multi-headed serpent-hooded figures, beside an orange-red stepped plinth. Palm trees and greenery fill the background, and a bright yellow banner with a portrait is partly visible at the left edge. A small brass vessel sits beside the seat.
