Outdoor photo beneath a canopy of leafy trees, looking up at a dark stone or bronze statue of a seated deity murti with a raised hand. A man in a maroon-red dhoti-style garment with a yellow-orange sash and a multicolour garland of white flowers with green and red beads hangs around his neck is raising a silver-coloured vessel high with both arms, apparently pouring over the statue as in abhishekam. Bangles are visible on his wrists. A second person in a similar red and yellow garment stands behind him to the right, and part of another hand reaches in from the edge of the frame.
