A photograph in a room with gold-painted walls. A life-size cutout standing figure, printed in full colour, wears an orange-and-yellow turban with a red bindi, a saffron-orange dress with yellow borders, a rudraksha mala, an ornate gold pendant and a dense garland of pink, yellow and white flowers. Beside it, a smiling real woman sits on a white plastic stool draped with a blue brocade cloth; she wears a red-and-gold headdress, gold necklaces, a yellow-and-red flower garland and holds a pink flower. Shelves with steel vessels and containers stand at the left. The cutout is a depiction, not a physical person, so the physical count is one.
