A silver-toned statue of a standing sage, draped in a white dhoti with gold borders and raising one hand in a blessing gesture, is being bathed with a stream of water poured from a vessel by a person in an orange-red robe. The statue stands on a silver pedestal with green leaves at its feet, framed by an ornate gold arch, with a teal silk backdrop and flower garlands behind. The scene appears to be an abhishekam. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.
