A home temple abhishekam scene on an orange cloth-covered table. A pair of hands pours liquid from a brass vessel over a small gold-toned Ganesha murti seated under an arch, while a brass tray holds yellow liquid with floating pink petals. Behind the table, a large printed portrait shows a smiling man with a rust-red turban, rudraksha mala, flower garland and gold ornaments; a portrait captioned or labelled is not visible, so the figure is a depiction. A gold throne-like stand with a carved hood holds flowers, and a garlanded golden deity figure sits nearby. To the right, a second printed figure wears a green garment. No physical people are shown in full, only the hands pouring.
