A ceremonial abhishekam scene at a temple-style stage with ornate gold arch and painted pillars. Two deity murtis, one golden-crowned with a bright orange-gold head covering and one with a teal blouse and magenta silk skirt, are adorned with garlands of red roses, yellow marigolds and jasmine. Three priests stand before them: a bare-chested priest in an orange-red shawl and dhoti with white sacred ash markings on his arms, a priest in white dhoti and turban holding a vessel, and a priest in white dhoti and turban with a garland extending his arm toward the murtis, holding a small golden vessel. The white marble floor shows a yellow tray in front.
