Two shaved-headed priests in saffron-orange robes pour water from a silver vessel over a deity murti decorated with a gold crown, jewelled necklaces and garlands of yellow, orange and red flowers. The murti stands before a green draped backdrop and an ornate gold screen. A brass lamp and a flower-decorated kalasha sit on a pink-covered table in the foreground. The scene appears to be an abhishekam. Each priest's robe and orange shawl is visible, and the rightmost figure holds a small yellow card.
