A golden statue of a seated figure on a gilded throne with a purple draped backdrop, the statue wearing an orange-red turban with a pearl-and-jewel ornament, an orange-red garment, layered pearl and bead necklaces, and a grey-brown flower-and-fibre garland. The raised right hand is in an abhaya-style blessing gesture. In front on a brass tray are bananas, flowers, a small oil lamp and incense sticks, and to the left stands a decorated shivalinga-style form with gold and orange cloth and a trident-like brass stand nearby. A printed sign reads KAILASA SALEM BHARATH beside a portrait labelled with that caption showing a smiling man in an orange turban. A timestamp reads Apr. 3, 2025 7:58:35 a.m. Salem Tamil Nadu. No living people are visible.
