A gilded metal statue of a bearded sage stands beside a carved stone pillar and ornate gold doorway. The figure has a tall black topknot, a bearded face and a raised right palm. It wears a white jasmine garland with red roses, a dense necklace of rudraksha beads and gold ornaments, rudraksha bracelets on both arms, a leopard-print shirt and a red dhoti with a gold border. This is a statue, not a living person, so it does not count as a physical person or an identified candidate.
