A bronze-toned statue of a seated sage in a red turban with a fan-shaped gold-embroidered headpiece and a jewelled ornament at the front, dark red and green draped cloth over the lap, multiple strands of rudraksha beads across the chest, and white horizontal sacred-ash stripes on the arms, chest and forehead. The statue's right hand is raised in a blessing gesture while the left rests open on the knee. A flaming brass oil lamp stands at the right edge beside an ornately carved golden pillar against a dark red background. This is a statue, not a living person, and the statue's identity is not established by any visible text.
