A golden-bronze standing deity murti, a young boy-form figure with hands in abhaya-like gesture, is being bathed in a stream of liquid poured from a large golden kalasha held by a bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti on the right edge. The murti stands on a tiered pedestal beside an ornately carved golden gateway or pillar, with liquid splashing across its body and base. In the blurred background, many people in orange and white clothing sit in rows. The priest has white sacred markings on his arm.
