Behind it, a seated person in orange robes, orange head wrap and a dark bead mala sits on a cushion with one hand raised. Brass oil lamps and a wooden cabinet stand in the background. The clay figure is a statue in progress, not a living person.

Visible text includes partial lettering on a wall sign.2009-08-08A seated man in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklaces sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, smiling and raising one hand in blessing.
