A dark stone Ganesha murti seated on a black pedestal is being bathed with yellow turmeric paste poured from a brass vessel held by a pair of arms entering from the upper left. The paste streams down the elephant head, trunk, chest and a magenta cloth draped over the lap, pooling on the base. Garlands of white flowers with red accents hang behind the murti against a beige wall. Two lower arms of the deity are visible holding a modak and a rope-like attribute. This is an abhishekam ritual being performed for Ganesha.
