A shirtless priest in white dhoti and angavastram with yellow borders pours liquid over a black stone deity murti in a temple hall with yellow walls. Behind him, a larger dark deity murti wears a green silk sari with a gold-and-white necklace and a golden crown. The priest's back and bent arms are visible in the foreground. A small black deity murti in a red cloth is placed in a shallow metal tub filled with water and pink flower petals, beside a steel pot and brass oil lamps with a tray of petals. The scene reads as abhishekam ritual. No identifiable a person candidate is present.
