At the lower left a young priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits beside the offerings, and at right a smaller figure stands in a green-curtained niche. The grey stone pillars are carved with reliefs. No living figure is clearly identifiable as a person; the statues and standing figure are sculpted images.
