A priest in a saffron-orange robe with a golden border, seen from behind, touches the statue's forehead with his fingers while holding a brass vessel. The statue stands within an ornate gold-toned arch on a wheeled wooden platform scattered with flower petals, and a garland of yellow, white and purple flowers hangs to the right. The statue depicts a sage and is not a living person, so it is not counted.2011-03-03A photograph inside a temple shows a priest in a red-orange dhoti and shawl, seen from behind, holding a lit oil lamp toward a gilded standing statue.
