A bearded man in a red turban and rust-red robe stands at the centre of a pandal with his palms raised in greeting. He wears a long garland of red, white and green flowers, layered gold necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala, with gold bangles on his wrists. Behind him stand statues of deities on decorated pedestals with white arches and red backdrops, including a figure with an elephant head. A young attendant in orange-red cloth holds a silver tray at the left edge, and a red cushioned seat and brass oil lamps appear to the right. Garlands of green leaves hang across the ceiling.
