A golden Nandi bull statue carries a raised palanquin-like platform draped in orange cloth and framed by a gilded arch. Atop it stands a statue of a sannyasi in saffron-orange robes with a red turban, a crescent ornament, a gold necklace and a raised blessing hand. Garlands of yellow, white, red and purple flowers encircle the arch and figure. Behind is a red curtain and a patterned maroon cloth with floral garland swags. The scene shows a decorated statue on a procession-style display, with no physical people visible. Its sannyasi form is a statue, not a person.
