Inside, a seated figure wears a flower garland and a crown-like headdress, framed by a gold ornate arch; the figure is in shadow and partly obscured. Around it, people in white clothing and rudraksha-style necklaces stand close, some with hands folded in prayer, while devotees in white and other clothes crowd the foreground under low golden sunlight. Roughly twenty to thirty people are visible.
