Below, a seated man in a rust-orange robe with a white flower garland and rudraksha-style beads sits on a small platform, appearing to be a person rather than a statue, with uncertain identity from appearance. Left, a female attendant in orange sari with long braided hair stands beside a golden murti with flower garlands and an orange umbrella-shaped canopy. Right, another female attendant in orange stands beside a decorated palanquin-style seat draped in marigold garlands, with a trident and ceremonial stand nearby.
