A man with long dark wavy hair and a red tilak on his forehead pours water from a large white conch shell over a metal deity murti. He wears an orange-red garment draped over one shoulder and a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, plus beaded bracelets on both wrists. Water streams down in a blur over the brass figures below, against a dark background. This appears to be an abhishekam being performed. Swamiji (probable) is visible in appearance, based on long hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial gold necklace, performing the pouring ritual.
