A man with long dark hair and a small red tilak on his forehead stands in saffron-orange silk garments with a gold border, wearing a heavy gold necklace of beads and multiple beaded bracelets. He pours milk from a silver vessel onto a gilded metal deity murti with four arms, a crown and ornate jewellery, during an abhishekam ritual at night. Milk streams down over the murti's head and shoulders, and another figure in orange stands partly visible at the right edge. Some stray spray is visible in the air.
