Close photo of a dark stone deity murti with a tall crown, carved ornate necklace and shoulder ornaments, its face lit by daylight against blurred foliage. A bare arm with a rudraksha bracelet enters from the left, a hand resting on the statue's brow in a blessing-like gesture. The statue is a carved stone sculpture, not a living person, and the scene appears to be an outdoor ashram setting.
