A golden-framed shrine niche holds a standing statue of a saint, painted metallic gold, with a raised right hand in blessing. The figure wears a red and maroon turban with pearl strands, rudraksha mala necklaces, a large ornate gold pendant, and a rust-brown robe. Red and white flower garlands hang from the shoulders to the feet. Behind it, an orange-gold silk cloth with silver motifs drapes the niche, which is decorated with ornate gold relief carvings of foliage and birds. This is a statue, not a living person.
