A golden-brown statue of a long-haired sage with bare chest and a draped white-gold dhoti, one hand raised in blessing, is being bathed with a liquid poured from a metal vessel held by a hand wearing a gold bangle. The liquid streams down the statue's head and body. Behind it stand an ornately carved white-and-gold arch and a maroon cloth, with green foliage at the right edge. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.
