A shirtless man in a white dhoti sits cross-legged on a striped mat in a yellow-walled shrine, pouring liquid from a small brass vessel over a copper shivalinga-style pot on a tray. Behind him stand three gold-and-silver-adorned deity murtis draped in green and gold garments and marigold garlands, with a smaller murti to the left in orange cloth. Brass plates hold oranges, a kalasha-like vessel, lamps and puja items, and a bowl of flowers sits in front. Floral garlands hang along the walls. The scene suggests abhishekam/rudrabhishekam puja, though no printed text is visible.
