Close photo of a golden-toned murti sculpture of a seated male figure wearing an orange and maroon turban with a jeweled ornament and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, a vertical tilak on the forehead, and a raised right hand in blessing. Behind it stand other sculpted figures with silver-toned faces and crowns, one wearing a tall jeweled headdress, with orange and pink marigold and rose garlands draped across the shoulders and a purple cloth in the background. The figure is a statue, not a living person, and the setting appears to be a temple-style altar display.
