A photograph of a murti-like statue of a standing male figure with a raised right hand in a blessing gesture, wearing a blue turban and draped in a pale green-and-cream shawl over saffron-orange cloth. The statue sits on an orange-draped platform decorated with heavy garlands of white jasmine and red roses, plus yellow marigold strands. Two brass oil lamps with flame stand on either side, and a lit oil lamp sits in the lower right. A window with iron bars, a green plastic bag, and cardboard boxes printed with Kashmir apple labels appear in the background. No physical people are visible. The statue is a depiction of a figure, not a living person.
