A bare-chested older man with grey hair and a short beard reaches over a dark stone abhishekam basin, pouring a thick yellow liquid from a tall golden vessel that stands on a dark pedestal. The viscous stream falls into the basin, spilling over its rim. Beside him is a blue step ladder, a red-maroon drape forms the background, and he wears a dark rudraksha mala and gold chain. The scene suggests a panchakavyam abhishekam, with one person visible.
