A golden bronze statue of a standing child figure, bare-chested and wearing a short loincloth, is being bathed with a golden-yellow liquid poured from a brass vessel held by a hand reaching in from the right. The liquid splashes over the statue's head, arms and base in an abhishekam-style offering. Behind it stands an ornately carved golden pillar with floral and scroll relief, and a metal railing and glass roof frame the scene. A deity murti is the subject; no living person's face is visible.
