A bare-chested man in an orange dhoti with a red-and-white sash pours water from a brass vessel over a bronze deity murti on a stand. The murti wears a garland of yellow and red flowers. The man has white vibhuti markings on his forehead and arms, a rudraksha mala around his neck, and red thread bracelets. A second brass pot sits on the lower right, and a metal staircase frame with a crowd in the blurred background sets the outdoor ceremonial scene, consistent with abhishekam at a procession or ritual event.
