A hand pours orange liquid from a brass vessel over a small gold-coloured standing deity murti beneath a brass arch decorated with floral motifs and a garland of red and green flowers. The murti stands on a round golden base in a pool of the same liquid strewn with purple flowers, set on a white marble table in front of red curtains. The pouring hand, with a tattooed wrist and a bracelet, belongs to a person whose face is not visible. This appears to be an abhishekam being performed. A caption block reads KAILASA AUSTRALIA SJP in the lower right corner.
