A photograph of a golden sage statue (murti) standing before an ornate embroidered backdrop with arched, jewel-studded panels. The figure wears a rust-orange turban with a gold-edged band, a red tilak on the forehead, and a rust-orange shawl draped over the shoulders. It holds a long staff in its raised golden hand. The statue is adorned with a multi-strand garland of yellow marigolds, red roses, white flowers and green leaves, plus a large ornate necklace of white beads, red stones and sparkling sequined medallions on a dark blue base. No living people are visible.
