A relief carving shows the sage Agastya set standing frontal against a plain back slab with an arched top that comes to a point above the sage's headdress. He stands barefoot on a plain projecting base. His arms hang down by his sides and he holds a water pot in his left hand and a rosary in his right. His face is partly damaged with an abraded nose and lips. He is shown with twisted locks piled high on his head above a beaded headband. A fat twisted ringlet hangs down on either side of each shoulder. He has down cast eyes and a drooping moustache which hangs down over the twisted tresses of his beard which are looped and bound in under his chin. He has long ears with stretched holes, but no earrings. He is ornamented otherwise with a pointed torque round his neck, elaborate armbands on his upper arms, and beaded bracelets on his wrists and ankles. Other than this his torso is bare, except for a broad sash which is draped over his left shoulder and looped across his chest. A roll of fat lies under his chest above the protuberance of his rounded belly which overhangs his dhoti. This is folded over at the top edge and held in place by a segmented belt underneath which a girdle is wound twice round his body.
