A large bronze statue of a four-armed Shiva-like sannyasi figure stands on a plinth before a plain white cloth backdrop. The statue wears a red-and-gold turban, long black locks, a heavy layered necklace of pearls and red-green stones, a rudraksha-style brown bead garland, beaded earrings, and a red robe with gold borders. He holds a trident in one hand and a small oil lamp in another, while a smaller bronze attendant figure kneels at his right side, holding a large ornate bowl overhead. The statue is a sculpted depiction, not a living person, so the a person field marks it as a depiction of the candidate figure rather than a physical presence.2015-07-02July 02 20152015-07-02A bronze statue of a four-armed deity stands on a bronze base draped with orange and rust-red cloth bordered in gold.
