A man seated on a red stone step among rows of black stone lingams performs a ritual, pouring water from a tall golden conical vessel held in his raised right hand while the water streams down toward the lingams. He is bare-chested with white horizontal tripundra marks on his forehead, wears orange lower garments, rudraksha mala necklace and rudraksha bracelets, and has a small earring. His left index finger is extended. The setting suggests abhishekam with the lingams.
