Nithyanandapedia
A carved wooden statue of a bearded ascetic standing on a round pedestal in front of a lattice screen with colourful cross-shaped panels. The figure wears a long rudraksha mala, a draped ochre-toned cloth, and a red tilak or ornament on the crown of the head. One hand is raised in blessing and the other rests near the waist. In the lower left, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame sits beside a small pot. The statue is the subject, not a living person, and the scene is a temple-like setting for a ritual observance.
