A temple abhishekam at a shrine with a gold-coloured deity murti of a seated figure in orange-saffron cloth on a dark pedestal, with a gold-decorated figure standing beside it. Several priests in white dhotis and white shawls with gold borders pour water and liquids over the murti from vessels and a conch-like container, while water flows down onto the black base. Two standing figures on the left wear white clothing and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. A small white marble seated figure and a gold kalasha-style ornament sit in the foreground. Orange drapery hangs behind the shrine, and green trees show through the open side of the mandapa.
