A seated figure in a golden-armed brown throne at the centre wears a tall black cylindrical headdress, a red-orange dhoti, and multiple rudraksha malas over bare shoulders, with a gold pendant and necklace. A large silver bowl filled with white liquid sits on a stand in front, and devotees approach to participate. Around the throne are a woman in white with rudraksha mala, a woman in orange and white, a boy in green kurta with an orange lanyard, a young girl, and men in dark shirts with lanyards in the background. A large screen shows an image at top. The scene resembles an abhishekam-style offering with devotees.
