A seated man with long dark hair and a red bindi pours liquid from a silver vessel over a golden kalasha-shaped object on a tray, with a small bronze deity murti in an arched frame to the left. He wears an orange saffron robe, orange shawl and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace. Behind him a red umbrella and a colourful banner with the word Dhyanapeetham stand near a second robed figure in orange. A man on the right in an orange shawl and white dhoti holds a long pole, and a man in an orange cap and orange shawl sits at the lower right. The scene looks like an abhishekam ritual outdoors.
