A golden-bronze statue of a bearded sage stands on a stone plinth in a temple niche flanked by carved grey granite pillars. The figure wears a tiger-striped shawl over rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti, a brown rudraksha-style mala and a long gold bead necklace, and holds a small brass kalasha pot in one hand while the other is raised in abhaya mudra. Behind it hangs a red curtain and ornate gilded brass panels, and a smaller white-garlanded figure appears at lower left. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.
