A golden metal statue of a seated figure is displayed inside a copper-faced shrine or palanquin frame, decorated with long garlands of yellow marigolds interspersed with red flowers and green leaves. The figure has a raised right hand in blessing, a long swept-back hairstyle, a rudraksha-style necklace, and a draped shawl. Dry straw bundles stand at the sides of the frame, with palm fronds and blue sky behind. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, and no printed name is visible on the statue itself.
