A golden-skinned statue of a figure in an orange turban and orange-gold silk garment, with a red tilak on the forehead, pressing palms together in anjali. Heavy jewelled necklaces with green and blue stones adorn the chest. Behind it, a red and yellow decorated canopy and soft-focus white and pastel decorations fill a hall. No living people are clearly visible; the figure is a statue, so it is a depiction rather than a person present.
