A photograph of a life-size cutout standee of a smiling man in a maroon turban and maroon robe, seated cross-legged and holding a trident in one hand, with the other palm open. He wears layered gold and green beaded necklaces with a large black stone pendant and white flower garlands. The standee is set before an ornate arch decorated with jewelled and beaded peacock-feather motifs in gold, green, red and blue. In front, a book is placed on a wooden stand with rose petals on top. A silver platter holds two silver pot-shaped vessels, one pair of silver footprint-style plates, orange and red roses and scattered petals. A carved wooden elephant and a brass bell sit at the left, and a steel vessel at the right. The standee is a depiction, not a living person present in the scene.
