A smiling person in a brown and gold striped silk dhoti and matching shawl stands at left, waving, wearing a long red and green bead garland, rudraksha mala layers and a gold ceremonial pendant, with a red bindi on the forehead. Beside them is a golden deity murti seated on a throne with a golden arch, a red and gold crown, gold jewellery and a red-and-gold sari, decorated with garlands of red, white, yellow and purple flowers. The murti sits on a golden vahana-like base draped in pink sequined cloth, with scattered petals and a brass lamp at right. A tall decorated flag pole with red, blue and yellow patterns stands at right. Appearance of the standing person is not confidently matched to a named individual, so the figure is described by role as a devotee.
