A black stone deity murti seated on a pedestal in a temple shrine, wrapped in an orange-and-cream cloth draped over its body. Water is being poured over its head from a brass pot held overhead by a hand, the water streaming down the face and cloth, consistent with abhishekam. Four arms are visible holding ritual objects. A gold-framed arch with red curtains forms the backdrop, and brass vessels and lamps sit on the floor in front.
