A shirtless man in an orange dhoti with a rudraksha mala pours water from a golden kalasha over a bronze statue of a standing figure, which wears a yellow and white flower garland. The statue has a bare head and folded hands, and the pouring water shows as a spray. Behind them is a tall decorative column of marigold and purple flower garlands, and white metal railings frame the scene. Blurred tiered seating with spectators and red flags fills the background.
