Night-time ritual photograph of a man with long dark hair in an orange saffron garment with a gold border, wearing layered gold necklaces and gold armbands, performing abhishekam by pouring liquid from a white conch shell over a golden deity murti. Another golden figure stands beside it, and bald, saffron-clad devotees sit in the foreground with a crowd and stage lights behind. The man appears to be the presiding figure with distinctive long hair and ornate gold adornments, so this is a person appearance, shown in person performing the ritual.
