A bare-chested man in a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders and waist, wearing a rudraksha mala headband, a long rudraksha mala across his chest, and gold bangles, pours liquid from a shiny golden vessel over a dark stone lingam at the right. His eyes are lowered in concentration. A second man with a shaved head in a red-orange cloth stands partially visible behind the lingam, and another partially visible figure appears at the far left edge.
