A temple shrine with an arched golden frame behind a pair of metal deity statues, a male and a female figure seated together, being bathed. Three people in orange and saffron clothing attend the abhishekam: one on the left pours liquid from a vessel over the statues, another stands on the right holding a golden pot, and a third in orange at the far left stands with bare arms by a stone bowl. Hanging coconuts wrapped in green leaves and garlands of orange marigolds decorate the pillars. A small white meditating figure and brass lamps sit on wooden stands in the foreground. The scene is a ritual bathing of deity murti, with no visible a person identification.
