A life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling man in a maroon turban and maroon robe sits cross-legged before a multicoloured beaded backrest, holding a silver trident adorned with a pink flower in one hand and an open palm in the other, wearing layered gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads and a red forehead dot. In front, a book titled Living Enlightenment rests on a wooden stand, and a wooden sign reads Pratyaksha Pada Puja. A silver plate holds silver padukas, or sandals, surrounded by red, pink, orange and yellow flowers, with two small silver vessels beside them. A carved wooden elephant stands at left and a gold-and-red patterned cloth covers the platform. This is a depiction on a cutout, not a person in the scene.
