The seated figure is a statue or life-size murti in orange robes and rudraksha mala, with a white forehead mark, draped in a red cloth, seated on a leopard-print cushion and golden lotus base. Behind it are garlands of orange, white and purple flowers, a red and gold brocade backdrop, and green leaves. The statue is not a living person, so the a person candidate appears only as a depiction. The devotee is shown from behind, so no face is visible.2018-05-27
