A bare-chested older man with grey hair and a short beard reaches over a dark stone abhishekam basin, pouring a thick yellow liquid from a tall golden vessel that stands on a dark pedestal. The viscous stream falls into the basin, spilling over its rim. Beside him is a blue step ladder, a red-maroon drape forms the background, and he wears a dark rudraksha mala and gold chain. The scene suggests a panchakavyam abhishekam, with one person visible.

The lingam is set against a grey tiled wall with a pink and gold silk cloth draped behind it and an ornate gold-and-green decorative arch above. A small copper kalasha or vessel with seeds sits in front, and a glass bowl stands on the floor to the right. The scene is a Shivaratri abhishekam or puja at the KAILASA San Jose temple.
