A life-size lifelike statue of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, with a golden lion-shaped armrest in front, against a stage backdrop with hanging marigold-and-rose garlands and small lamps. The figure wears a black cylindrical headdress with a jewelled ornament and a red tilak on a white-painted forehead, long dark hair, and a brown silk garment with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, layered gold necklaces, jewelled belt and armbands. Its right hand is raised in blessing and a wooden staff rests beside it. Multiple marigold and rose garlands drape the figure. A video camera on a tripod stands at the left edge. The statue is depicted, not a living person; a sign of the statue's identity is not visible, so no identity is asserted from appearance.
