A bald priest with a bare upper body and an orange-saffron dhoti pours liquid from a golden kalasha pot over a golden deity murti wearing a garland of pink and white flowers. The milky yellow liquid cascades down from a large dark stone structure with carved lotus-petal patterns, splashing around the base. The priest wears rudraksha beads, bangles and white tilak markings on his forehead and arms, standing on a stone platform. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual with a large stone shivalinga-style structure behind. A red and white flower garland hangs at the top left.
