A ceremonial abhishekam scene in a temple-like hall. A seated man in orange robes with long hair and a yellow marigold garland bows his head while a priest in white pours liquid from a brass kalasha over him. An older man in a red-orange robe and white pearl mala sits to the right, also with a yellow marigold garland, looking downward. Behind them, devotees in white, orange and saffron clothes crowd close, one holding a red-and-gold ceremonial vessel. A large printed portrait banner of a smiling man with a garland hangs in the background, with partial Kannada-script lettering across the top.
