A golden-yellow liquid is poured over a large golden statue of a standing male figure with a raised right hand in blessing and left hand extended, set before a deep red velvet curtain. A smaller golden figure stands at the base of the statue. At left, a person in white dhoti with a gold border, bare-chested and wearing gold armband and necklace, pours from a vessel, indicating an abhishekam ritual. The statue has no visible crown or rudraksha, so it is a depiction of a devotee-style or sage-style murti rather than a person; the scene is a ritual bathing of a statue.

Photo 103278202022-07-12A golden statue of a bald, standing sage is being bathed in abhishekam, with liquid pouring over its head and splashing outward. The statue is bare-chested with a draped cloth at the waist and raises one hand in blessing while the other hangs open at its side; a smaller seated figure sits at its base. Behind it hangs a deep red velvet curtain. At the left edge, a priest in white dhoti with a gold border and a beaded necklace pours from a vessel, his arm and wrist visible with white sacred markings. This is a ritual bathing of a murti, not a living person.2022-07-12 +1 copiesKAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 7/12/20222022-07-12 +1 copiesKAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 7/12/20222022-07-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82901482022-07-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82889172022-07-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82841832022-07-12 +1 copiesKAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 7/12/20222022-07-12 +1 copiesKAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 7/12/20222022-07-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82835232022-07-12 +1 copiesKAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 7/12/20222022-07-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82869042022-07-12 +1 copies
