A man in saffron-orange robes pours water from a small vessel over a large dark boulder in a dry hillside setting with scrub trees and a palm-like plant in the foreground. Behind him on the right stands a small shrine or palanquin-like structure with a colourful striped canopy, red and gold decorations, and a framed image inside. The hill rises in the background under a pale sky. The scene suggests an abhishekam-style offering of water to a sacred rock. The man has short hair and his face is partly turned away. No other people are visible.
