A bronze deity murti of a seated or standing devotee-type figure, adorned with a yellow marigold garland and a small red flower, receives abhishekam. A shirtless priest in a white dhoti with a gold border and white tripundra markings on his forehead, shoulders and arms pours water from a brass kalasha over the statue's head. The priest wears a gold wristwatch and a rudraksha mala. The background is dark stone carving with blurred lights, and a few distant people are out of focus.
