A slender gilded bronze deity murti stands on a tiered pedestal while water streams down over it in glistening droplets. The figure wears a tall crown, layered jewelled necklaces and a long garland, with one hand raised in a mudra. Behind it a white marble figure sits with a raised hand, and a white-draped figure in a saffron-and-cream garment is partially visible on the right. The setting suggests an abhishekam-style water offering, shown as a photograph of a statue rather than of living people.
