A golden metal statue of a seated figure garlanded with thick bands of pink, red, white and yellow flowers stands beside a gilded temple pillar with carved floral motifs. The statue wears a gold-coloured turban, a large silver and gold necklace, and raises one hand in blessing. At left, a young man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a camera beside a red curtain. A green cloth drapes the base of the statue, and a small brass lamp stand is visible at the bottom. The scene suggests a processional or festival setting at a temple-style pavilion.
