A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti and sacred thread stands at a golden murti, applying sacred marks or offering to the gold statue's hands and chest. The seated golden murti wears a golden turban and saffron-toned robes, placed before a magenta silk drape with red and white flower garlands. An orange canopy with mirror-work sits above, and a black Shivalinga stands in front on the right. A small figure in orange robes sits at the lower left edge. A plaque on the right shows a deity emblem and a small portrait. The murti is a depiction, not a living person, so the living people in the scene are the priest and the seated figure at the left edge.
