A young man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands at a black stone lingam on a dark pedestal, pouring from a small vessel held in his right hand while his left hand touches the lingam. Behind him, golden statues of deities sit under a gilded arch with yellow drapery: a central figure in a red and gold turban and bejewelled necklaces, a female figure in magenta with black hair and a flower, and a figure with a white turban at left. A statue at right wears a tiger-striped garment with folded hands. Garlands of orange and white flowers adorn the figures. The scene appears to be a temple abhishekam, and no living person other than the young man is visible.
