A dark stone murti of a seated deity with four arms, draped in red cloth, is being bathed with water poured from a brass pot held by a hand at the upper left. The deity sits on a black pedestal decorated with small orange tilak marks and a row of lingam-like shapes below, set against gold-painted arched surrounds and a red-speckled marble wall. Water runs down the figure in an abhishekam ritual. No human face is visible, only the pouring hand and wrist with bangles.
