A man in a white shirt pours water from a copper kalasha over a large black stone Nandi (bull) statue in the foreground, performing abhishekam. Behind him on the left stands a deity murti dressed in orange and green cloth beneath a gold-framed altar niche, and on the right a framed picture shows a figure in orange robes. Garlands of green, red and yellow flowers hang near the top edge. The man has short dark hair and is smiling with eyes half closed; no appearance-based a person candidate is clearly established, so identity is unsure.
