A life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling man in a maroon turban and maroon robes sits on an ornate throne backed by a fan of striped fabric with beaded teardrop motifs. He holds a trident-like staff in one hand, his other palm open, and wears a red and yellow rose garland with white flowers and a gold rudraksha-style necklace. In front, a book titled Living Enlightenment rests on a stand. Below, a silver tray holds a pair of silver padukas decorated with red, orange and yellow roses, and a brass elephant figure, a brass lamp and a small silver vessel stand nearby on a maroon cloth. The cutout is a depiction, not a physically present person, and no people are visible.
