A golden statue of a seated figure on a lotus-shaped pedestal in a gilded shrine niche, raising its right hand in blessing. The figure wears a red turban with a brooch, a red and orange garment with gold border, a long multi-strand necklace of white beads and a large pendant, and a garland of yellow and red flowers. Before it stand brass vessels, a tray of fruit and flowers, and lit incense sticks. Gold trident finials flank the niche, and a placard reads KAILASA SALEM, INDIA. A timestamp overlay reads Jun. 10, 2024, Alagapuram Periyaputhur, Salem, Tamil Nadu. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.
