A life-sized statue of a bearded sage stands in a temple doorway beside carved gold-painted stone panels and pillars. The figure raises its right hand in a blessing gesture and holds a small brass kalasha pot in its left hand. It wears a leopard-print brown and black sleeveless garment, a rudraksha-style brown bead mala, long gold beads, and a thick garland of white flowers with red roses. Its rust-red dhoti and a dark hair knot complete the figure. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.

Photograph of a painted statue of a bearded sage standing in a temple doorway beside a gold-coloured lamp stand and carved grey stone pillars. The figure has a raised right palm in abhaya mudra and holds a small brass kamandalu in the left hand. He wears a tiger-striped garment, a red-orange dhoti with yellow border, rudraksha beads on the arms and chest, a long white jasmine garland with red and blue flowers, and a red beaded mala across the shoulders. The statue is a murti, not a living person, so the a person field is depiction only if a candidate is present; here no appearance-based candidate is shown.

A painted wooden or sculpted statue of a standing male figure in a temple doorway, with a long dark topknot and moustache-and-beard face. 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.
