A photograph of a stone or cast figure with no visible face, dressed for worship: a purple turban and a bright magenta-pink cloth draped over its shoulders and lap. Many rudraksha-style brown beaded malas and a white-and-gold beaded necklace hang across it. Beside it on the ledge sits a small dark stone Nandi bull with garlands. A blue cloth with dark beads hangs at the left edge and the background is blurred greenery and earth. No living person is visible, so this is a depiction of a statue rather than an in-person a person candidate.
