A photograph of a life-sized figure standing on a golden horse-headed pedestal beneath a red and gold canopy. The figure wears a white turban with a gold ornament, layered red and silver-toned necklaces, a white dhoti with gold borders, and bangles, and raises one hand in blessing. The figure appears to be a statue or doll rather than a living person, with a gilded horse head in the foreground and a red drape and ornate gold arch behind. Warm orange lighting and a pale wall surround the scene.
