A gilded statue of a saint stands in a red-and-magenta costume, wearing a red turban with a jewelled band, layered rudraksha malas and ornate ornaments, with one hand raised in blessing. Heavy garlands of red, white, green and orange flowers drape the statue and a framed printed photograph in front of it. The framed photo shows two robed men in orange outdoors before a rocky hill; one wears a white head wrap and a rudraksha mala. A brass tray holds a lit oil lamp beside the garland. A red velvet curtain forms the backdrop. No living people are clearly visible.
