A priest in orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a bare torso and rudraksha mala, stands at left pouring or lifting a vessel over a golden deity setup. Three deity murtis sit on a golden ratha-style vahana or throne with red cloth draped over its base: a central figure in a crown with a green and gold garment, flanked by two figures in red and gold-trimmed garments with floral garlands. Hanging bells, gold pillars, and tassels in red, green, yellow and purple decorate the temple hall. A small metal pot and a seated attendant appear at lower right. The scene suggests abhishekam or puja in a temple shrine.
