A bare-chested priest with a shaved head and saffron-coloured cloth wrapped at the waist stands before an ornate golden shrine, pouring liquid from a vessel over a deity murti decorated with a red-and-white floral garland. The murti is dark-skinned and adorned with jewellery and a crown. The priest's chest is ashen-marked. A second figure in white stands at the right edge beside the altar, with carved golden pillars and a decorated arch framing the scene.
