A bare-chested priest in a pink turban-style cloth and white-and-pink dhoti stands at left, holding a ritual implement beside a tall brass multi-branched lamp and a brass bowl. Behind him, a golden canopied dais holds deity murtis draped in green and gold. On the right, a seated figure in saffron robes and an orange turban sits on a red-cushioned golden throne decorated with yellow and orange garlands under a golden umbrella, flanked by lion-form armrests. Rows of seated devotees in white and red shawls face the dais, with a few others at the edges. Brass staves with leaf-shaped finials stand around the platform.
