A lifelike sculpted figure of a seated male guru in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a red bindi, raising one hand in a blessing gesture. Garlands of white jasmine and pink flowers with green leaves hang around the neck, and a rudraksha mala rests on the chest. An ornate orange and gold-bordered silk cloth drapes the lap, decorated with a silver necklace and beads. In front stands a brass lamp with a lit flame, a brass plate with flower petals, and a kalasha-style pot with a mango-leaf bundle. The background is a painted sky with clouds and a red cushioned seat. This depicts a statue, not a living person.2009-10-102011 -eNMiracles Collections +1 copiesSeptember 16 20122012-09-16A white marble statue of a smiling figure in an orange-red turban with a small red bindi, wearing a flowing red-orange shawl edged with gold and a long gold bead necklace with a gold pendant holding a small kalasha-like finial.
