A gilded metal deity murti stands on a lotus-patterned base on a silver tray while water is poured over it from a coconut wrapped in blue thread, held by two hands at the top left. The murti has a tall crown, four arms and a reddish-brown cloth wrapped around its body, with water running down its front and into the tray. Behind it are a purple-draped table with an open book, a brass oil lamp on the right and red curtains. This appears to be an abhishekam bathing of the deity murti. No person is clearly identifiable as a person in this image.
