A golden statue of a standing male figure, bare-chested with a white and gold dhoti, one hand raised in blessing, is being anointed. A person in an orange garment pours liquid from a brass vessel over the statue's head, and the liquid streams down its body. The statue stands within an ornate gold-gilded arch carved with floral and animal motifs, with a red curtain and a few flower garlands in the background. This is a depiction in statue form, so the person being poured over is a statue, not a physical person.
