A woman in an orange sari with a white border leans over a gold-lined shrine to pour water from a small brass pot onto a black stone statue of a seated figure. Behind her a black stone Shiva-lingam-like form rises beneath a gilded wall. Water runs down the statue's head and face in an abhishekam offering. The gold-coloured wall and carved gilded figure in the upper left frame the shrine. One person is present; the statue and figures are not counted as physical people.
