A close view of a bronze statue of a standing figure draped in orange cloth, its feet resting on a stepped lotus-style pedestal set on a red base. A silver ceremonial vessel with a twisted handle pours milky white liquid over the feet and down the pedestal, a milk abhishekam. Yellow flower petals lie at the base. Two other orange-draped statues flank the frame, one with a jewelled bracelet and gold necklace. No living people are visible; the figures are statues.
