A dark stone statue of a seated saint-like figure in an orange and maroon robe, wrapped in an orange-and-red turban, with a red tilak on the forehead. The murti holds a small vessel or ritual object in one raised hand and has garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold, purple and red flowers draped over the shoulders and body. Loose yellow flowers lie on the black pedestal. Behind it stands an ornate silver arch with embossed floral and animal relief panels, set in a shaded garden with trees. This is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
