Its top is decorated with bundled grass and green leaves. A man in a rust-red robe wears a long rudraksha-style mala and a vertical tilak, and he holds the chariot's rope with one raised hand while steadying the structure with the other. Palm trees and green foliage stand behind him under bright sky.
