A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl sits on a gilded Nandi bull statue on a raised dais, with a pink-and-white flower garland, gold chain and a dark rudraksha-style necklace. His right hand rests on the bull's back, and a tiger-skin cloth lies beside him. Behind is a golden tree canopy, a gold-and-red deity figure with a crown and ornaments, gold lion-like pillars, a brass trident and oil lamps, and potted green plants. A white fan and cooler stand at the sides. The shawl and clothing appear to match the appearance-based cues for a person, but the face is not visible enough to confirm identity, so the presence is marked as in-person a person with a seated ceremonial role.
