A photograph of a golden-bronze seated statue of a bare-chested figure, shown in a meditative pose with one hand raised in blessing and the other resting on the knee. The statue has a red bindi on the forehead, a layered gold collar necklace, and wears white dhoti-style cloth with a green and gold border. It sits on an ornate lotus-style pedestal, and pink and white flowers are placed on the shoulders and hand. Behind it are yellow silk drapes, garlands in yellow, white and red, and ornate gold carvings. To the right, a partly visible red-and-white banner displays large letters. No living people are visible; the figure is a statue, so this is a depiction of a murti rather than a person in person.
