A dark stone statue of a seated figure wearing a red-and-gold headwrap and a yellow garment with a red border, adorned with white and orange marigold garlands. A red-and-white tilak mark is on the forehead, and a beaded rudraksha-style mala hangs at the chest. The right hand is raised in a blessing gesture, and the left hand holds a trident-like staff. A silver-toned arched frame stands at the right against dark foliage at night. This is a statue, not a living person, so the statue depiction is not a person in person.
