Devotees perform abhishekam at a shrine decorated with flower garlands and brass oil lamps. Behind them a deity murti pair stands in an arched golden frame: a male figure in an orange-red turban and a jewelled necklace holding a trident, beside a female figure in a magenta and red sari with gold ornaments. Green drapery and marigold garlands frame the figures. In the foreground a woman in a white and orange sari pours liquid from a silver vessel over a dark stone stand, while a woman in white and a girl in a pink top stand beside her. A small pink-clad seated figure, possibly a statue, sits at the right edge. Blue curtains and potted flowers frame the shrine.
