A white marble statue of a seated sage in an orange saffron robe with gold border and an orange turban, right hand raised in abhaya mudra blessing gesture, wearing a black and gold rudraksha-style mala. A green silk cloth with gold border is folded on a brass tray before him, with white cloth beside it. Behind him is an ornate diamond-style necklace and jewelled garment on a dark velvet backdrop, with a garland of yellow and purple marigolds above. Brass lamps and bowls sit at the sides within a temple-like setting. This is a statue, not a living person, so the swamiji field is depiction only if the appearance cues qualify; the statue shows saffron clothing, a turban and a mala, which are distinctive, so it is treated as a probable depiction.
