A golden statue of a seated figure, not a living person, wearing a blue turban with a gold band and a red hibiscus and peacock feather ornament. The statue has a gold-painted face with a white tilak mark on the forehead and wears blue silk clothing with a purple and gold border, layered gold and stone necklaces, and brown fibrous garlands. The right palm is raised in abhaya-style blessing, and yellow and white plumeria flowers are scattered over the statue and its seat. Behind it is a maroon draped cloth with gold trim.
