A life-sized statue or murti of a figure with long dark hair, a tall jewelled crown and an ornate red and gold garment with heavy gem-studded necklaces and rudraksha-style malas, seated before a dense arch of pink lotus buds and marigold, rose and leaf garlands in yellow, orange, white and purple. Gold filigree carved panels and an orange silk drape frame the scene. The figure is not a physical person, so no one is present in the scene.

He wears an orange-red turban, an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered dhoti-style lower garment, a heavy gold necklace and multiple garlands, bangles, and a headset microphone. His right hand is raised near his temple in a gesture of blessing while he smiles. Brass oil lamps (lamps) flank the throne, and a gold swan figure sits on each side. The setting suggests a satsang stage at an ashram.2013-01-01December 23 20162016-12-23Close photograph of a life-size metallic-finished statue of a seated figure in a maroon-red turban and maroon drapery, wearing layered red and gold beaded necklaces, ornate gold and jewelled collar with red and blue gemstones, and a large dark stone brooch.
