The beautiful gold pendant (padakkam), temple-jewel features an image of Lord Krishna seated on a lotus seat set with cabochon rubies and an emerald. One leg is folded and the other pendant, one hand rests on his knee and the other holds what might have been a lotus. He is flanked by two female attendants standing on flower pedestals holding flywhisks in one hand, or they might even be his consorts Rukmini and Satyabhama. The three figures are enclosed within a cusped arch outlined.
