A golden statue seated on a gilded throne in front of a deep red draped backdrop, raising its right hand in a blessing gesture. The figure wears a blue and gold turban, a blue silk garment with gold borders, and multiple garlands of pink, red and yellow flowers. A gold trishula stands to the right beside a white sign reading KAILASA SALEM. Before the figure are a brass plate with a yellow fruit, small oil lamps, brass bowls and a dish of red flowers. The timestamp reads Jun. 20, 2024 5:45:36 a.m., Salem, Tamil Nadu. This is a statue, not a living person, and no in-person figure is visible.
