A second golden throne with a floral garland stands to the left, and a seated man in white and yellow shawl watches. A large backdrop shows an orange-turbaned smiling man beside Kannada text and a deity image, with a golden umbrella and kalasha-like ornaments on stands. Two women in white and yellow shawls sit at right, one holding flowers. Cut flowers and garlands decorate the platform.
