An adult woman with bangles pours or lifts a brass vessel above the figures, with water visible. Three gilded figures are shown: a smaller one on the left, a central four-armed figure with a crown, and a figure in a blue and gold sari on the right. Behind them is a gilded arch and a carved throne, with pink and white flower garlands. A sign on the wall reads KAILASA AVADI and BHARAT. A framed picture of a smiling man in dark clothing with a garland and a rudraksha mala appears at the upper right, but he is in a portrait, not physically present.
