A shirtless young man in a white dhoti with gold-yellow borders pours liquid from a small vessel onto a tall black lingam set in a black stone yoni-peetha base at a temple shrine. Behind him stand gold-painted deity murti in ornate jewelry and garlands, including a figure in a red and gold crown and a figure in a red sari with yellow flower garlands. Figures on the left and right wear green, pink and orange garments and a rudraksha mala, with yellow marigold garlands. Small gold statues and a brass figure stand at the base. The scene reads as an abhishekam ritual in a temple.
