A bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a sacred thread and rudraksha mala stands at the left edge, pouring liquid from a vessel onto a golden statue of a seated sage with raised hand. Behind it is a golden deity murti of a couple, with a golden arched frame and a red and gold banner beside. A white sign with KAILAS and SEERAG printed on it sits at the right, with a small orange-turbaned portrait inset at the top left. Trees surround the outdoor shrine. This appears to be an abhishekam on a golden murti.
