A dark stone statue of a seated yogic figure, draped in a red cloth and wearing a red headband with a vermilion mark on the forehead. Thick garlands of yellow marigolds and purple flowers hang from the shoulders, and a rudraksha mala rests on the chest. The raised hand holds a small object near the head. Carvings on the rock base show a seated meditating figure and a figure in an upright yoga posture. The statue stands on a dark plinth under trees, with a silver arch behind it. This is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
