A black stone statue of a seated sage stands under a large banyan tree, framed by an ornate silver arch carved with floral and animal motifs. The statue wears an orange-red turban and an orange-red cloth wrapped around the body, with a rudraksha mala and a bright garland of yellow and magenta marigolds draped over the shoulders. One raised hand holds a small object, and the figure sits on a dark pedestal with a carved relief below. Hanging orange threads drape from the branches overhead, and a white pillar stands at the left edge. The statue is a depiction, not a physical person, and no people are visible.
