A bronze-toned standing figure, a child-sized statue of a sage-like deity, stands on a pedestal before a large red velvet backdrop in a temple shrine. The figure wears a gold triangular pendant on a gold chain, a multicoloured green, yellow and pink checked and gold-brocaded dhoti, bangles, and a jewelled crown with pearl strands, with a red tilak on the forehead and long dark hair. A silver staff stands to its left, and white jasmine garlands hang behind it. This is a statue, not a living person, and the scene is a deity murti display with a red and gold ritual cloth in the foreground.
