A shaved-headed priest in white dhoti with a gold border and a bare upper body pours liquid from a brass pot over a large black stone murti in a temple shrine. The murti shows a multi-armed deity form with a tall crown, standing beside a bull, set against a golden arched niche with carved ornamentation and a yellow wall. Small golden figures and red flower petals sit at the base of the black pedestal, and the scene depicts abhishekam.
