The priest wears copper bangles. This is an abhishekam ritual performed on a statue.

The background is blurred greenery, a red railing and a red cloth. No people are visible.

The right hand is raised in abhaya mudra. Behind are garlands of yellow and magenta flowers and a striped gold and white drape. The statue is a depiction, not a living person, so no physical people are present.
