A golden-bronze statue of a bearded sage stands in a granite doorway flanked by ornately carved gilded panels. The figure has long black hair gathered in a topknot and wears a red-brown beaded garland with gold coin-like pendants and black beads, plus a tiger-striped upper garment and a rust-red dhoti with a gold border. The right hand is raised in abhaya mudra while the left hand holds a brass kamandalu. Because the figure is a statue, it is not a physical person and no candidate is present in person; the statue is a depiction rendered in sculpture with an ornate garland and clothing.
