A man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron wrap stands at a golden metal deity murti, pouring liquid from a silver conch-shaped vessel held in his raised right hand. He wears gold beaded bangles on both arms and a gold bead necklace over the orange cloth, with a tilak on his forehead. The golden murti has an ornate crown and raised hands holding a lotus and a trident-like emblem, and a dark background suggests a temple or ritual setting. Appearance-based label: a person, performing an abhishekam with a conch vessel at the golden deity.
