A seated figure in rust-orange robes receives an abhishekam, water poured over his head from a colourful patterned kalasha held overhead by a second person's raised arms. He wears a thick red and white garland, layered gold chains and a gold pendant, and a gold bangle is visible on the pouring arm. Behind him is a throne backdrop heavily decorated with yellow marigold and red, white and orange flower garlands, with green foliage above and a gold-tipped staff at the right edge. A red tiger-striped cushion sits to the side, and a saffron cloth lies folded on it. Water runs down his face and body.
