A photograph of a polished golden metal statue of a bare-chested sage with long wavy hair and a dhoti tied with a decorative belt, standing in profile with its right hand raised in abhaya mudra. A burning oil lamp (aarti) held in a metal lamp stand is raised above the statue's head, and a red flower sits in its hair. Ghee or oil streaks shine on its chest and shoulders. Behind it, a gold-framed arch and a partially visible priest in white dhoti stand against an orange and red backdrop. The statue is a murti, not a living person.
