The milk streams over the head, face, shoulders and chest, and drips from the raised right hand, which is in a blessing gesture. Behind, a blurred figure in orange robes and a garland of yellow and purple flowers suggests a ritual setting, consistent with abhishekam. The statue is a murti, not a living person.2010-12-19 +1 copies
