A golden statue seated on a gilded throne in a temple-style shrine, raising its right hand in blessing. It wears a green pointed headdress with a jewelled ornament, a green and teal silk garment with gold embroidery, layered garlands of marigolds and green leaves, and a pearl-and-bead necklace. In front stand a brass trident, a copper vessel, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a plate of flower petals, mangoes and marigolds, and a small lamp. Behind the statue hangs a magenta silk backdrop beneath a gold arch. A printed placard beside it reads KAILASA SALEM BHARATH and shows a portrait of a smiling man in orange headwear. A timestamp in the corner reads Sep. 23, 2024 5:19:33 a.m. Salem Tamil Nadu.
