A photograph of a large standing statue of a bald, smiling sage with blue-painted eyes, bare-chested and draped in a golden-yellow dhoti, with the right hand raised in abhaya mudra. Water flows down over the statue during an abhishekam, streaming from above and down the front of the figure. A smaller gold-coloured figure of a child-sized devotee stands at the base beside a white pedestal. A red velvet curtain forms the backdrop. At the left edge, a partly visible person in white silk dhoti with gold border and a gold chain holds a vessel pouring liquid. This is a murti being bathed in a ritual, not a living person.

The statue is bare-chested with a draped cloth at the waist and raises one hand in blessing while the other hangs open at its side; a smaller seated figure sits at its base. Behind it hangs a deep red velvet curtain. At the left edge, a priest in white dhoti with a gold border and a beaded necklace pours from a vessel, his arm and wrist visible with white sacred markings.
