A temple priest in an orange-red dhoti and wrap, with a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and gold armlets, pours water from a silver pot over a gilded deity murti on a golden pedestal. The murti shows a standing four-armed figure holding a trident and other implements, flanked by two smaller gilded figures. Golden abhishekam liquid runs across the base. Ornate gilded temple arches and a brass kalasha are visible behind, and another person in white stands at the left edge.
