A photograph of a life-size figure standing in an ornate gilded shrine niche framed by red and green flower garlands and a red fabric canopy. The figure wears a yellow turban with a jewelled ornament, yellow dhoti and yellow shawl, multiple strands of white pearls and a pink-and-yellow flower garland, and gold armlets, holding a pink lotus-like flower and a small rod in the raised hand posture of a blessing. The face is smiling. Tall brass oil lamps with bird-shaped tops and hanging brass lamps stand beside the shrine, one lamp lit. Whether the figure is a living person or a statue is not clear from the image; the figure is posed like a deity murti or ceremonial figure in a temple-like hall.
