Evening abhishekam at a temple shrine with a golden arched frame. A bearded man with long curly hair in orange robes stands at the left edge. A central figure in an orange saffron wrap, with a white arm bandage, pours water from a metal vessel over a black Shivalingam set with a white stone figure. Behind them stand two deity murtis in an alcove: a figure in a red and orange crown with a green and white garland, and a seated female deity in a purple sari with pearl necklaces. Flower garlands in yellow and purple hang on the murtis. A younger person in orange stands beside the priest.
