A woman in a red and gold-bordered saree pours liquid over a black stone standing figure of a bald sage-like statue, her hand raised on its shoulder, water running down its body onto a dark base. Beside her a smiling woman in a grey-blue floral saree watches. Behind them an arched stone frame, a brass pot, a lit oil lamp, brass vessels, flower petals and a red offering plate lie on the floor and steps. A framed portrait hangs on the wall and a second dark deity statue draped in a red cloth with garlands stands at left, consistent with abhishekam. Water covers the floor.
