A shaven-headed priest in an orange-red dhoti and shawl with a gold-edged border and a beaded necklace pours a liquid from a brass vessel over a golden statue of a standing figure in a yellow-gold dhoti. The gold statue, with its raised right hand in abhaya mudra, stands inside an ornate gold arched frame with a carved crown-like top. Beaded garlands hang overhead, red curtains hang at the right, and a white statue stands in the lower right foreground. The scene appears to be abhishekam of a murti in a temple setting.
