The man on the left carries a golden trident, and a central figure in saffron robes wears a white and red flower garland, a gold necklace and a saffron-and-gold cloth wrapped on his head, with hands raised in greeting. Another saffron-robed man on the right holds a long golden staff and wears a gold necklace, while a younger man in the front right has his hands folded in prayer. Behind them, devotees in white and cream kurtas and saris follow, and a colourful striped canopy with tassels is visible at the top left.
