A priest in saffron-orange ceremonial robes with a matching head covering pours water from a copper vessel over a dark grey stone deity murti, creating a splash of water in the foreground. Behind him stands a decorated deity murti dressed with a colourful floral garland, a crown and gold ornaments, set before a golden arched backdrop. The scene appears to be an abhishekam ritual. The man's hair is covered by the cloth, and the photo shows one visible person.
