A white marble-like statue of a seated sannyasi in an orange saffron cloth and orange turban, one hand raised in blessing, adorned with white jasmine garlands, red and yellow marigold garlands and a rudraksha mala. Behind it a large black stone form. In front on a wooden table sits a silver kalasha-style vessel with flower petals, a steel cup and offering plates, with incense sticks at the lower edge. The scene is lit at night in a temple setting, apparently a paduka puja or ritual honour to a murti. The figure is a statue, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
