Graphic collage of four photographs of a gilded, bare-chested standing statue with raised right hand and open left hand, dressed in a red and purple wrap. Liquid abhishekam is poured over the figure, with colours ranging from red to yellow and orange. Red velvet drapes form the backdrop, and a partial figure in cream fabric stands at the left edge of two panels. The statue shows no physical people, so this is a depiction of a sculpted figure in a temple setting.
