A temple priest in a red dhoti with gold borders and a red upper cloth stands bent forward at a black stone lingam on a black yoni-peetha base, pouring water from a gold pot over it during abhishekam. Beaded rudraksha-style mala strands hang from his neck. Behind the lingam, a gold deity murti is draped with white cloth, with yellow and red flower garlands and green and purple cloths. A small gold kalasha and gold figure stand on a wooden tray at the front, with white and red flowers scattered on the wet floor and several brass pots at left.
