A large life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling man with a red turban and red-and-gold attire, adorned with layered gold necklaces, beaded malas and a rudraksha mala, holds a trident-like staff and a small rose-and-marigold garland, seated in front of a patterned throne with a stack of printed books. In the foreground stands a silver tray holding a pair of silver paduka sandals decorated with red roses and yellow marigolds, with a small brass elephant figure to the left. This depicts a paduka puja setup at a temple altar. The cutout is a depiction rather than a physical person, and no physical people are visible.
