A golden statue of a standing sage in a white cloth wrap is being bathed with white milk poured from a brass vessel held by a hand at the upper right. The statue has bare shoulders, bangled arms, and one hand raised in blessing. The milk streams down its head and body over a gold-framed backdrop, with blurred white railings and a red building behind it, as part of an abhishekam ritual.
