A photograph of a golden-toned sculpted statue of a standing sage, bare-chested with a draped golden cloth at the waist and one hand raised in blessing, being bathed as a brass vessel pours a white milky liquid over its head, splashing and spraying in all directions. A human hand wearing a gold bangle holds the vessel from the upper left. The statue has painted eyes and a smooth bald head. The background is blurred with greenery and a red and white structure. This is a statue, not a living person, so no physical person is present beyond the pourer's arm. The milk bath resembles an abhishekam performed on a murti.
