A shirtless man in a white dhoti with a red border stands bent forward at the lower left, pouring liquid from a vessel over a ritual setup. Behind him a large dark stone statue of a multi-armed deity seated on a rock pedestal is shaded by a carved hooded canopy. Beside it a dark statue of a woman in a red dress stands on the right. Brass figurines, a brass trident and a brass oil lamp sit on the pedestal, with brass vessels in the foreground. This appears to be a puja with abhishekam being performed before a deity murti.
