The rider wears a crown, a long coat and boots, and holds the reins with a garland draped over the shoulder. Purple and white flower garlands hang on the horse's bridle and neck. Palm fronds and tall trees frame the left side, and an unfinished concrete multi-storey structure rises behind the white building. Two globe lamps sit on the base in front.2012-03-30March 30 20122012-03-30A man in a saffron-orange draped garment and a long yellow-and-white flower garland stands at left, touching the gold horse of a large Venkateshwara deity murti seated on it.

He holds a silver and gold ceremonial sword with an ornate hilt beside him.
