A gold-painted statue stands on a wooden base in a dark granite shrine niche, wearing a maroon turban with a white flower, a red tilak on the forehead, and layered green and white stone necklaces. Its hands are raised in a blessing pose, with pink flowers at the chest and on the pedestal, and white and yellow marigold garlands surround the base. Two brass oil lamps with lit wicks flank the figure, and a gilt-framed picture hangs on the wall above. The statue is an image, not a physical person, and the setting suggests a devotional shrine.
