A young man in an orange turban and orange shawl stands beside a large black stone deity figure, pressing his right palm against its face while water glistens on the stone and his hand. A red tilak mark is on his forehead and long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Behind him dried palm-leaf thatch forms the backdrop. The scene appears to be an abhishekam or ritual anointing of a deity murti.
