A dark stone statue of a seated sage in orange-red robes, wearing a chequered gold-and-green headcloth and a rudraksha mala across the chest, with hands folded before it. The figure is heavily garlanded with yellow and white marigold strands and purple and magenta flower chains, with a red cloth backdrop and an ornate silver-coloured arch behind. The statue is a murti shown in a garlanded, decorated setting, with no visible living people.

A black stone statue of a seated figure in orange-saffron drapery, with a saffron turban, rudraksha mala and a marigold garland, stands in a silver arched frame under shady trees on a dirt ground. A small black plaque sits at the base. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, so no physical people are present.

A black stone murti of a seated sannyasi-style figure, adorned for worship. The statue wears an orange-saffron turban with a jeweled ornament and a bright orange-gold cloth draped over the body. Multiple long rudraksha malas hang across the chest, with a small ornate pendant. Red roses, white and yellow garlands and green leaves surround the figure. Its raised right hand holds a trident-like emblem and a ritual object with a red-dotted tip rests at the left, beside a carved black stone ornament. A green cloth backdrop and foliage lie behind. Because this is a statue rather than a living person, no one is physically present.

A dark stone statue of a seated sage-like deity stands inside an ornate silver arch set against a backdrop of green trees. The statue wears an orange-red cloth draped over its shoulders and body, a white tilak on the forehead, a red and white garland and marigold garlands in yellow, red and purple, and a rudraksha mala. Its raised hands hold a small drum and other objects, and it sits atop a black pedestal decorated with fresh flower petals. No living people are visible; the figure is a deity murti or statue, not a person.
