The seated person wears an orange robe and a long multi-strand garland with green and white flowers, with a pair of green and blue decorative bird ornaments hung at the chest. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends in to adjust or offer something at the seated figure's lap, and another white-clad person is partly visible at the right edge.
