A bronze statue of a standing male deity figure, with raised hands and a dhoti-style lower garment, is being bathed in a stream of yellow liquid poured from a gold-coloured vessel held by a hand entering from the right. Yellow droplets splash in the air. The statue stands on a pedestal in front of an ornate gilded column carved with floral and scroll motifs, beneath a glass and steel canopy. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual. No people are clearly visible apart from the pouring hand and forearm, which belongs to an unseen person.
