Yellow and purple marigold garlands hang from the base. A bearded man in a maroon-red robe and matching turban, wearing heavy gold necklaces, a red-and-white checked garland and a rudraksha-style mala, stands at the base with one hand on the staff. Coconut palms and large trees frame the sky, and several onlookers in white and light clothing are partly visible at the lower right.
