A golden ornate sunburst-style backdrop frames a life-size cutout standing on a red velvet throne-like seat inside a temple shrine. The cutout shows a smiling bearded man in a rust-brown turban with a gold-coloured ornament, a tiered garland of yellow flowers, a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, raising one hand in blessing. A small figure in red stands in front of the cutout, and a hand from the left holds a brass plate of flower petals with a lit oil lamp. Petals are scattered on the red cloth, and a brass plate and steel cup rest on the gold-embossed altar base.
