A life-size golden statue of a sannyasi stands within an ornate gilded arch carved with floral and animal motifs. The figure wears a deep maroon turban with a jeweled ornament at the front, a maroon-red cloth draped over the shoulders and body, and heavy ornaments: layered red and white beaded necklaces, a large gold collar, and jeweled earrings. The statue's raised right hand is in an abhaya gesture, with the left hand open at the side. A forehead red mark is visible. Behind the figure hangs a golden silk drape. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.
