A life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling man in a red-maroon turban with a red flower tucked at the top and a dark vermilion dot on the forehead, seated on a wooden throne-style chair against a light wood-panel wall. The figure wears a saffron-red robe, a heavy gold bead necklace and bangles, and holds a gold trident-topped staff with a red rose. White, green and red garlands drape across the cutout. Two framed Tamil-style deity paintings hang above, and a small gold trident sits in the lower foreground. A timestamp reads 22 Feb 2025 at 4:25:21 PM, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu 631501. The cutout is a depiction, so no physical person is present.
