On the left, a man in a rust-red ceremonial robe stands with a gold crown, rudraksha-style gold necklaces and a pink flower garland, raising one hand in greeting while holding a silver staff, with a red and gold ceremonial banner beside him. On the right, a richly decorated deity murti sits on a purple cloth-draped platform, wearing a gold-trimmed yellow garment, layered gold ornaments, and heavy garlands of yellow, orange and white flowers. Brass oil lamps are arranged on the steps in front, and a painted backdrop of figures and a carved arch frame the scene.
