A temple abhishekam scene before a golden Shiva and Parvati murti adorned with layered garlands in yellow, pink, purple and white. A figure in a long rust-red robe with long dark hair pours water from a blue and white vessel over a central stone shivalinga at the bottom of the frame. Behind them, a standing deity murti in golden jewellery and a golden crown holds a trident-like object, while a man in a red-and-gold turban and a white-washed foreground figure stand nearby. Garland-draped arches and carved stone pillars frame the altar.
