A close photograph of a gilded wooden statue of a standing male figure with curly hair, a full beard, a rudraksha-style bead necklace, bangles and a short dhoti-like lower garment with a draped cloth over one shoulder. He holds a long staff in his left hand and raises his right hand palm-up. Behind him are ornate gilt carved pedestals and a gold figure of a lion-like deity, set against a deep maroon velvet backdrop. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, and no physical people are visible.
