A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti with a red border pours water from a brass vessel over a bronze statue of a standing saint with folded hands. The statue wears a garland of yellow marigolds and red roses and stands on a tiered brass pedestal. The priest wears a rudraksha mala and a silver pendant, with tilak markings on his forehead and arm tattoos. Behind them hang dense strings of purple, yellow, white and green flower garlands, with warm lamps at the left edge. The scene looks like an abhishekam ritual.
