Before him is an ornate silver-toned throne with an orange-and-yellow tiger-striped cushion and silver lion-form supports. To the left, colourfully painted deity murtis stand on a draped platform, including a multi-armed goddess with a yellow-and-white garland and a figure holding a veena, decorated with marigold garlands. Incense smoke rises and a fan stands nearby.
