A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and shawl, bare-chested and marked with white ash stripes, pours milk from a silver vessel over a white-coated shivalinga on a black base. A rudraksha mala hangs at his chest and beaded bracelets are on his wrists. Behind him stands a large gilded deity murti adorned with jewelled crown, gold armour and red flower garlands. The scene is a linga abhishekam in a temple sanctum.
