A bronze-toned statue of a standing sage with a shaved head, raised right hand and bare feet is being anointed. A golden vessel held by a bare arm above pours liquid over its head, while yellow marigold and red rose garlands hang around its neck and the figure stands on a tiered pedestal with flower petals. Behind it a shirtless young man with a rudraksha mala and a brown dhoti stands at a silver metal railing near scaffolding, a green card in his hand. The statue is a murti, not a living person.
