A figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching orange turban pours water from a golden-rimmed kalasha vessel, with a red cloth wrapped around it, into a dark river. White markings are on the arms and forehead, and a gold-edged sash hangs at the waist. Behind on the left, a second robed figure with a shaved head tends a table draped in gold cloth, holding flowers, a brass lamp and metal vessels. The scene is lit only by sparse background lights. Based on appearance alone, the figure pouring water has long hair swept back under the turban and distinctive orange clothing, so this is a person, performing an abhishekam-style water offering.
