Two devotees in saffron-orange robes perform abhishekam on two golden deity murtis seated beneath an ornate gilded arch. A woman on the left, with hair tied back and a rudraksha-style mala, pours water from a brass vessel over the left murti, while a man on the right, in orange clothing, pours water from a brass pot over the right murti. Water streams down the golden figures, which wear crowns and jewelled ornaments, with greenery visible behind.
