At centre, a seated man in an orange-saffron shawl and orange turban wears a long white garland and ornate gold necklaces, with rudraksha-style beads; he appears to be a person, seated on a gilded golden bull-shaped seat (nandi). Two men in white dhotis with gold borders kneel at his side, one with a white garland and one touching the golden bull. A man in a white shirt and saffron-orange shawl stands at left beside a trident (trishul). On the right, a woman in a pink-and-white dress and several women in saris and salwar kameez stand in a row, and a woman in a red sari kneels with a small stand. The scene is a stage ritual with an audience of devotees.
