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. The scene matches an abhishekam-style pouring on a statue; no visible person clearly matches the a person description, so the statue is a depiction of a figure rather than a living person.2016-12-03December 12 20162016-12-12 +1 copies
