In the centre, a gold-and-silver throne-shaped pedestal holds a small orange-robed seated figure wearing an orange turban and mala. Around the base are small painted figurines of deities and white-robed figures, with more statues in the foreground. The visible people are two, and the figures on the pedestal are statues.
