A silver-toned deity murti with a tall crown and ornate shoulder armour is being touched on the forehead by a hand with a silver bangle, a human arm entering from the left. The murti wears a dark blouse, a pendant necklace and a jewelled collar. Behind it, a blurred figure in orange-saffron cloth and red floral garlands stands near warm lamp light. The scene suggests a ritual abhishekam or puja, with the murti being attended closely. No clearly identifiable person is shown in full, only a hand, forearm and blurred background clothing.
