A golden statue of a standing male figure, bare-chested and wearing a golden lower garment, receives a pouring of liquid over its head and body from a green vessel held by a hand at the upper left. The statue has raised hands and stands on a golden pedestal with red flower petals at the feet, against a deep red draped backdrop. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual performed on a murti. No people are clearly visible beyond the pouring hand at the edge of the frame.
