A photograph of a life-size cutout or printed standee of a smiling man with a red-and-maroon turban, sindoor on his forehead, and layered gold and beaded necklaces and a rudraksha mala, holding a trident-topped staff and seated in a lotus-style pose before a tall book. In front, a silver tray holds a pair of silver paduka sandals decorated with red roses, yellow and purple flowers, and orange marigolds, flanked by small silver cups. An ornate gold-edged cloth and a green table cover surround the arrangement, and a decorative backdrop with peacock-feather-like motifs frames the scene. No physical people are visible.
