A photograph of a gilded statue of a seated figure dressed in a plum and maroon silk garment with an orange shawl, wearing a plum and gold turban with a white plume, gold necklaces, bangles and a rudraksha-style mala. The statue is adorned with white and yellow flower garlands and pink blossoms, and its right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. Brass oil lamps with lit flames stand around it, along with a golden elephant figure, a white draped table and floral offerings. Behind it are ornate gold pillars, hanging beaded strings and colourful textile panels. The figure is a statue, not a living person, and no physical people are visible.
