A bare-chested priest in a maroon dhoti with a gold-bordered cloth, wearing a rudraksha headband and rudraksha necklace and gold bangles, pours liquid from a silver vessel over a dark stone shivalinga. Behind him a golden deity murti in ornate gold jewellery and a red garment holds a trident, decorated with long garlands of white, yellow, purple and red flowers. Another attendant in an orange turban and red cloth stands beside him holding a second silver vessel. This appears to be an abhishekam in a temple setting.
