A wooden-looking statue of a bare-chested sage stands on a pedestal in front of a deep red velvet drape, being bathed with liquid poured from a vessel held by an unseen hand at the upper left. The statue wears a dark wrapped dhoti with a gold-trimmed white cloth on the left edge, and its raised right hand shows a blessing gesture. A smaller carved figure stands at its feet. Water runs down the statue. The statue is a deity murti, not a living person.
