A man in white kurta and pants, barefoot, pours water from a golden pot over a white marble statue of a seated figure in meditation posture, with a small gold deity murti beside it. Water streams down over the statue. Behind them stands a large bronze temple carving with a bronze foot visible and green palm fronds at right. A woman in white stands partly visible at left edge, and the man wears a yellow lanyard around his neck. This appears to be an abhishekam-style water offering at an outdoor ashram setting.
