On the right, a figure with long dark hair wearing an orange-brown garment, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and gold bangles sits on a golden throne with a tiger-skin cushion and smiles while raising a hand in blessing.

On the left, a shaved-headed man in an orange robe stands near a garlanded deity murti with marigold and red flower garlands, while a man in white with folded hands stands by. Gold-carved lion thrones and red cushioned seats fill the platform.
