A bronze standing statue of a figure with a garland of yellow flowers around its neck is being bathed with a golden-yellow liquid poured from a brass vessel. A shirtless man with rudraksha malas and an orange-brown cloth around his waist holds the vessel high above the statue. Another person in orange-brown robes bends forward at the lower right. The metal scaffolding and a crowd of spectators sit in the background. The scene resembles an abhishekam performed on a murti.
