A golden-toned statue of a bearded sage stands in a shrine niche in front of a carved grey stone pillar. The figure wears a leopard-print shawl over the torso, a dark brown knotted rudraksha-style mala, and a maroon dhoti with gold borders. The raised right hand is in abhaya mudra, and a black topknot of hair rises above the head with a red tilak on the forehead. A yellow and red marigold garland hangs across the shoulders and down to the feet. Brass oil lamps stand in the foreground at the left and right edges.2016-02-14April 29 20152015-04-29Photo 11694619August 28 20142014-08-28A life-sized gilded statue of a bearded sage stands beside an ornate gold-leaf pillar against a grey granite wall.

The figure wears a red-brown jewelled bodice with gold beadwork and a white jasmine garland, a tiger-striped upper cloth, a rust-red dhoti with gold border, and gold bangles on the arms. The raised right hand shows a palm mudra and the left hand holds a brass kalasha-style pot. Carved stone pillars and an ornate gold-leaf frame surround the statue. No physical people are visible, and the figure is a statue rather than a person, so the a person field is none.2014-08-15Photo 11692458September 04 20162016-09-04
