A large cutout board of a seated, smiling figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban, with ash marks on the forehead and a rudraksha-style mala draped over the chest, is held upright by a shirtless man behind it. The setting is a tiered brick structure with rows of small black shivalinga-shaped stands, red flags on poles, and a colourful canopy at the right edge. The cutout is a printed image, not a physical seated person, while the bare-chested man holding it is the only physical person visible.
