A golden standing murti of a robed sage figure, shown with raised right hand in abhaya mudra, is being anointed by a priest pouring liquid from a silver conch-shaped vessel onto its head. Viscous yellow-orange offerings drip down the statue's chest, shoulders and draped dhoti onto a golden base. Behind it, a backdrop of purple satin and yellow-and-purple marigold garlands frames a seated figure in orange robes and white attire. Brass vessels and small lamps sit on a stone ledge. The scene suggests abhishekam of a murti.
