A white marble statue of a seated sage in a pink robe with a pink turban, wearing gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, raises one hand in blessing. Behind it, a large golden deity murti with a tall crown and garlands of yellow marigolds and red flowers sits within a gold-framed shrine. Tall brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a standing figure in blue and gold ornaments appears at the right edge. A pink cloth drapes the platform. Pictured as a temple shrine display, the statues are not physical people.
