The figure wears a red and orange draped garment, a red and white turban-style headpiece, long garlands of pink and orange flowers, a bangle on the upper arm and gold bangles. Before them, a seated woman in a pink sari with glasses and a white-flower garland presses her palms together, and a man in a white shirt and orange garland kneels with folded hands. Other seated devotees in white and blue clothing join with palms pressed together. A standing attendant in orange robes stands nearby, and a small shrine table holds a flower arrangement and a decorated kalasha-style setup. Utility items and a table are visible at the left.
