On the right, a white marble statue of a standing sage is being bathed in water poured by a priest. A small white seated marble figure in meditation pose sits at lower centre. Three priests attend the ritual: one in orange robes pours water from a vessel at left, one in white dhoti stands at upper left, and one in yellow-white dress pours water on the right. Ornate stone pillars and gold-trimmed arches frame the scene, with greenery behind the railing.
