A photograph of a small devotional figurine standing on an ornate gold-toned pedestal, surrounded by plants.

A large printed cutout backdrop in a temple-style setting shows a smiling man with long dark hair, a vertical forehead mark, a rudraksha mala and a bare chest, wearing rust-orange dhoti-style cloth. He holds a large silver trident and a bell, framed by garlands of pink and red flowers with white lilies and dried petals. A brass bell hangs from the upper left. The printed figure is a depiction, not a physical person, and the scene contains no physical people.
