The seated figure has long swept-back dark hair and wears a red shawl over a bare upper body, with a rudraksha-style mala of green and red beads and a fragrant garland of pink and yellow flowers around the neck. Several devotees in white dhotis and saffron clothing reach up to offer a long pink and yellow flower garland. A gold-coloured lion or animal figure and gilded decorations stand in the foreground, with fruit and flower offerings below. Behind them a crowd of men and women in white and saffron stands, and a video camera on a tripod is visible.
