A figure in an orange saffron garment with long dark hair leans forward to touch the golden face of a large deity murti, a male figure wearing a green, pink and red patterned turban with a gold crown, beside a female murti in a blue and purple sari with gold jewellery and a tall crown. Both murtis sit within a golden arched frame, flanked by pillars wrapped in garlands of yellow, orange, purple and white flowers. In the foreground a brass plate and a tray with white flower garlands and ornaments sit near another attendant in orange. The setting suggests a temple ritual, possibly abhishekam or puja, with the attendant performing an offering.
