A man in a reddish-brown wrap with bare upper body and a long gold-bead and rudraksha necklace raises a bunch of green leaves overhead while water sprinkles through the air, in a temple hall with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a framed sign behind him. His hair is piled high in a dark coil with a rudraksha band, and he wears rudraksha bracelets and a vibhuti mark. Blurred devotees in orange and saffron clothing stand behind him, and a colourful cloth-wrapped object appears at the right edge. The scene suggests an abhishekam or purification ritual with leaves and sprinkled water.
