A man with long dark hair swept back and a red bindi sits on an ornate golden throne under a red, green and yellow tasselled canopy at night while water is poured over him. He wears a dark maroon-brown robe, a bright red, yellow and green flower garland and a long brown rudraksha-style mala, and he raises one arm with a green leaf bunch as a brass-and-blue patterned pot is tilted from the left. The gilded throne with floral carving and a dark background indicate an outdoor ceremonial bathing ritual. He is the only visible person apart from the hand holding the pot. a person: the long swept-back hair, ornate gold seat, rudraksha mala and maroon robe are the qualifying cues, and he is physically present in the scene.
