A black stone statue of Kalabhairava, a fierce deity murti with a flame-like halo of upswept hair, a heavy beaded necklace and armlets, stands holding a long staff. A person's arm with rudraksha malas on the wrist pours water from a silver vessel over the statue's head, and water streams down its face and chest, as in an abhishekam. A red metal grille and green foliage sit in the background.
