A golden statue of a seated figure on a gilded lotus pedestal before a red draped backdrop framed by gold arch, with gold trident-topped finials on each side. The statue wears a red turban with a jewelled brooch, a red and gold saree-style garment, blue lower wrap, layered white and multicolour beaded necklaces and a large garland of yellow and red flowers. Its right hand is raised in a blessing gesture. In front sits a brass tray with flowers, fruit, a small lamp and a kalasha-style vessel. A white sign reads KAILASA SALEM. A timestamp in the corner reads Jul. 31, 2024 5:24:44 a.m. Salem Tamil Nadu. The statue is a statue, not a person, so no physical people are present.
