A printed cutout or framed image of a smiling man in a maroon turban with a red tilak, wearing a rudraksha-style gold necklace and a garland of yellow and red flowers, holding a trident in one hand and a hand gesture in the other, seated in front of an ornate mosaic arch of coloured beads and jewelled panels. A small book with a photo on its cover rests before him, and a silver tray holds two silver paduka sandals decorated with yellow, red and pink flowers, with a silver puja vessel beside them. The cutout is a depiction, not a physical person. a person depicted by the trident, turban and garlanded ornamentation, presented as an object of worship on a puja altar with brass items and a wooden elephant figure nearby.
