A seated golden-and-black statue of a deity or sage sits in a shrine framed by an arch of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. The statue wears a red-and-saffron turban, a bead necklace and gold ornaments, and holds gold-tipped implements. Outdoors among trees, a procession of people in saffron and orange robes walks along a path. One woman in a red-and-orange sari with a garland carries a tray, and a man in white trousers and a grey shirt stands at the right. A saffron-canopied palanquin or umbrella is visible behind them, and a stone plinth sits at the statue's base.
