A dark stone or metal murti of a seated sage figure in orange-saffron robes, with a saffron turban, rudraksha mala, and long hair, is decorated with thick garlands of white, red, yellow and green flowers. A man in orange robes sits cross-legged at lower left, bent over offerings, apparently performing a puja. Brass and silver ritual vessels, a brass kalasha, a small golden deity figure and a flame-lit lamp sit on the altar in front of the murti. The scene is a puja at the shrine.
