A young man in a white kurta with an orange-yellow shawl pours water from a silver vessel over a golden statue of a seated deity, a goddess with a crown, earrings and jewelled necklaces, beside a golden Shiva lingam. The golden shrine is backed by red drapery and gold pillars. The sign above reads in Tamil script, with a golden-statue abhishekam being performed. Only one physical person is visible, partly at the left edge of the frame along with a small second figure, so the count is two.
