A priest with a shaved head and bare upper body, wearing a white dhoti with a gold border and a sacred thread over his shoulder, pours water from a golden vessel over a black stone deity murti during abhishekam. Two black stone female attendant figures in golden-brown saris with pink-edged borders stand on either side. Golden arched floral carving frames the shrine, and small gold and red figurines sit on the black stone pedestal below. Petals are scattered at the base.
