A golden statue of a seated guru figure sits on a gold lotus pedestal before a red draped backdrop framed by an ornate gold arch. The statue wears a green turban with a jewelled ornament, a blue dhoti with green and gold border, a green shawl, layered rudraksha and bead malas, and marigold and red flower garlands. One hand is raised in abhaya-style blessing. Before it stand a copper pot, brass bowls, a lamp, incense sticks and a plate of flower petals, with gold trident-topped finials on either side. A white sign reads KAILASA SALEM. Timestamp overlay reads Jul. 1, 2024 5:04:08 a.m. Salem Tamil Nadu. This is a statue, not a living person.
