A close photograph of a dark stone deity murti, a Shiva lingam-style figure with a tall conical crown and carved face, being bathed with yellow liquid poured from a brass vessel held by a hand at the top of the frame. Yellow droplets spatter across the carved face and shoulders. A red cloth drapes the base, a red curtain forms the backdrop, and a carved ornamental figure with a swirling crest stands at the right. No people are visible apart from the hand.
