On the left, a seated deity figure in red and green drapery sits beside a female figure in orange and green; a standing golden figure stands behind them, and a seated golden figure with raised hand is at the far left. In the centre, a woman in a maroon and orange sari walks forward pointing toward the statues, followed by men in white kurta-pyjama clothing, one wearing an orange and white shawl. Beyond an open folding gate, more people and a rocky outdoor landscape are visible. A gilded doorway frame stands at the right and a small table and chair are near the wall.
