A standing statue, gilded or silver-toned, in a golden ornate arched shrine frame, draped in a yellow-saffron shawl and turban with a red tilak on the forehead, wearing a beaded orange-gold necklace and raising one hand in blessing (abhaya mudra). The statue is framed by dense garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and white flowers, with flowers heaped at its feet. Palm trees and a dusk sky appear behind the shrine. No physical people are visible. This is a statue, so it is a depiction; the statue's facial features are not used for identification, and the presentation cues (saffron-yellow shawl, turban, ornate beaded necklace) are the basis for the appearance-based label, with the page's event context supplying the link.
