A figure in a saffron-orange robe and shawl stands at the centre of a dimly lit hall, raising one hand in blessing and holding a long staff with a trident-like top. He wears a rudraksha-style mala and a gold necklace, and a tilak marks his forehead. Behind him, a golden arched frame and ornate carved golden panels rise on either side, with brass bells hanging from the ceiling and a warm spotlight falling on him. A brass vessel with red offerings sits near his feet. The figure is a statue or murti rather than a living person, and no printed caption identifies him.
