The seated person wears a dark turban, an orange-brown robe, and a multi-coloured flower garland, and is attended by a man in white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl pulling the throne with a silver-handled rope. Behind, a brightly lit golden deity murti stands on a decorated chariot, strung with coloured lights. Several attendants in white dhoti and reddish-brown saris stand to the right.
