A central figure with long dark hair, wearing orange robes, a gold necklace and a red bindi, sits on an orange-cushioned throne-like seat on a raised platform. Flanking him, two attendants in orange robes and beaded necklaces sit on the platform; one holds a tall golden trident (trishul) and another holds a long ornate staff with an orange cloth. A standing attendant in white dhoti with an orange shawl holds a pole. A large golden ratha-style structure with a copper kalasha-shaped top stands behind, with a deity murti visible in its shrine. Devotees in white and light clothing stand in the background among green foliage.
