Red and yellow flower garlands drape the figures. Below, a seated figure wears white, an orange turban and a beaded necklace, in front of a white cloth draped on a platform with offerings. Brass oil lamps (deepas) stand at both sides, and a green-curtained niche to the right holds a painted red-clad figure.
