A gilded metal statue of a sadhu-style deity figure stands in a temple setting, wearing a rust-red and saffron-yellow turban and draped cloth. It holds a trident over its shoulder and a small hand drum (damaru) in one raised hand, with a bowl or vessel in the other hand. Garlands of red flowers hang across the chest, along with layered gold necklaces, beaded malas and jewelled ornaments. Behind it are orange and gold decorative panels and a wooden door. A small brass lamp stand is visible at the left edge. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.
