A woman in a white and gold-bordered sari with a yellow blouse and a face mask pours liquid over a dark stone shivalingam on a black pedestal in a temple shrine. Behind her stand gold-clad deity murtis draped in marigold and rose garlands, including a central pair of figures in red and purple garments with crowns, flanked by two standing attendant figures with garlands and rudraksha-style beads. Ornate gold arches and red drapes frame the shrine, and a large kalasha-style lamp stand is visible. The scene suggests an abhishekam ritual in progress.
