A long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe pours water from a silver pot over a dark stone shivalinga at a temple-style altar. Behind the linga stand two gold-finished deity murtis, one wearing a red garment and crown-like headdress, the other in red and gold, both draped in yellow and red flower garlands. A small white marble statue of a seated figure in a turban and shawl sits in the foreground, and a small brass figure stands to the right. Water streams down from the pot across the black pedestal. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, and a rudraksha mala worn while performing the abhishekam.
