The statue's raised right hand makes a blessing gesture, and it wears layered garlands of yellow, orange, red and green flowers, with a beaded mala around its neck. A heap of marigold and rose petals covers its base. A hand in orange sleeve reaches in from the upper left to ring a bell. Beside it stands another gilded deity figure with a crown and garlands. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, and no people other than the hand are visible.2013-12-22September 27 20182018-09-27A shirtless man with long dreadlocked hair tied up, wearing a white dhoti with gold borders and a face mask, extends his arm to offer incense or a lit stick before a golden statue.
