A hand wearing a thick gold bangle pours water from above over a small brass vessel fitted on top, with a clear crystal lingam inside, and water streams down its sides onto the black stone base. Blurred figures in orange-red garments sit in the background, and a wooden stick is visible at right. No face of any person is visible in the frame.
