A dark stone murti of a seated deity with a trident-like staff and a crown-like headdress is being bathed with milk poured from a golden pot held overhead by a bare arm wearing bangles. The milk flows down over the figure's face and chest onto a red and gold draped cloth covering its lap. The murti rests on a carved pedestal showing small figures, and a dark background surrounds it. This appears to be a milk abhishekam of a deity murti.
