A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas and ornate gold bead necklaces performs abhishekam, pouring water from a silver vessel over a small bronze deity murti and a shivalinga on a silver tray. A gold-carved throne chair stands behind him, and a man in white dhoti with gold border stands at the back with hands folded. Marigold-like petals and turmeric-stained water lie on the tray. The man is a robed priest-like figure whose appearance includes distinctive ceremonial cues consistent with a person, though identity is not certain from appearance alone.
