A photograph of a shaved-headed man in a maroon and orange headpiece and a bare-chested red-and-gold garment with a leopard-print cloth around his waist is pouring or offering liquid from a clay vessel toward a golden statue. The statue is a standing figure with a hand raised in blessing, wearing rudraksha beads and a pendant, and it is set against a backdrop of dense garlands in red, yellow, purple and white, with a gold ornate canopy above. A second attendant in a gold skirt stands behind him. The scene suggests an abhishekam at a shrine, with the man performing the ritual offering before the murti.
