A hand pours water from a woven basket with green mango leaves over a dark grey stone deity murti standing in a metal tub. The murti has yellow painted eyes, a red tilak on the forehead, a tall conical crown, and holds a kalasha pot in one hand. Behind it, a brass lamp stand and red velvet drapery. A second stone figure is partly visible at right. A wristwatch is visible on the pouring hand. The scene suggests an abhishekam ritual being performed on the murti.
