A golden statue of a long-haired, bare-chested male figure with one hand raised in blessing is being anointed. A hand wearing a gold bracelet with green and red stones pours liquid from a brass vessel over the statue's head, and the liquid streams down the face, hair, chest and shoulders. The statue wears a dhoti-style cloth tied at the waist. The scene is an abhishekam of a statue, not a living person.
