The seated male murti wears a white and gold dhoti, a gold turban, rudraksha-style gold garlands and holds a damaru-like instrument; the female murti wears a green and pink silk sari with ornate silver and gold jewellery. A banner above reads SRI ANANDESHWAR WITH ANANDESHWARI. In front, a silver kalasha and a flower and leaf offering sit on the wooden platform. No living people are clearly visible in the frame, only a partial figure at the right edge. Carved golden pillars and palm trees surround the chariot.
