A woman in a cream and gold sari with a dark rudraksha-style mala performs abhishekam, pouring liquid from a brass vessel over a tall golden-bronze standing murti of a bearded sage with raised right hand and a short dhoti. Behind them stand ornate deity figures draped in yellow cloth, with jewelled gold necklaces, and a decorative beaded backdrop. In the lower left foreground sits a brass peacock-form lamp with feather-shaped plates. The murti is a statue, not a living person, so no a person candidate is present.
