A seated man in an orange-brown dhoti-style wrap and bare upper body performs a ritual, pouring from a silver vessel over a silver bowl on a brass tray set on a red-gold brocade cloth. He wears a long rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold necklace of large beads with pink flower garlands, gold armlets and a red bindi. Behind him, a curved arch of red, white, yellow, purple and green flowers frames the scene, and a golden lion-head figure stands at the left. A brass pot sits on the tray. The pose and setting suggest an abhishekam with a visible rudraksha mala and ornate garlands.
