A devotee's arm and hand, wearing a silver bracelet and white sacred markings on the wrist, pours an orange liquid from a metal vessel over a golden sri yantra-style base. Above it sits a dark black shivalinga on a black circular yoni pitha, and behind them a golden seated deity figure stands within a gilded arch. The orange liquid runs down the layered golden base onto the dark stone platform, with scattered red flowers on the floor. The scene shows abhishekam, the ritual bathing of a shivalinga.
