A priest in white dhoti and shawl with gold border sits cross-legged on an orange mat, pouring from a small brass vessel over a ritual setup of silver trays, brass bowls of yellow flowers, turmeric-coloured sweets, a coconut and mango leaves, and a folded green cloth. Two seated couples in the background wear flower garlands: a woman in a maroon sari and a man in a grey shirt. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam arrangement. No clear a person candidate is visible.
