A white statue of a seated saint is the focal point of a shrine, dressed in an orange and maroon silk garment with a red and gold turban. Garlands of white and orange flowers and rudraksha malas hang from its neck, with a gold necklace across the chest. Its right hand is raised in blessing. Peacock feathers flank the figure, and purple and white chrysanthemums surround its platform. In front lie a pair of gold padukas decorated with flowers on a pink cloth, plus a brass plate, a small bowl and a red box. Brass oil lamps stand at each side and lotus-shaped lights glow beside the statue. A multicoloured canopy with tassels shelters the scene, and a window with fairy lights sits behind. The statue is a statue, so no physical person is present.
