A man in saffron-orange robes with a matching head wrap stands barefoot at a black stone shivalingam on a dark stone base, his hands resting on the lingam while water flows over it. Behind him stand gilded deity murtis draped in garlands of yellow, white, red and green flowers, including a multi-armed figure with a crown and a figure in green and red adorned with jewelry. A brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped stem sits in the foreground beside a small brass figure. The setting appears to be a temple shrine with abhishekam being performed. The man's face is not visible, and the image is a photograph of a temple ritual. Stated count: one person visible.2008-05-02A devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left, holding a brass plate of white flower garlands and offering it toward a shrine.

In front, a seated figure wrapped in orange cloth wears a silver necklace, rudraksha-like beads and a white tripundra, flanked by yellow marigold garlands. Tall brass oil lamps stand on either side with green curtains behind, and fruit, a small kalasha, a brass bell and puja items rest on a white-covered table.
