Water pours over a gilded bronze deity murti standing on a small ornate base beside a golden pyramidal sri-chakra-style shrine piece. Behind them a dark stone basin with carved lotus-petal rim and fluted base receives the flow. Visible carved stone surfaces and water splash complete the scene. No people are visible in the frame.
