A woman in a white dhoti-style garment with a gold border and a maroon long-sleeved top, wearing a black face mask and a rudraksha-type mala, bends forward and pours liquid from a golden pot over a dark black stone lingam on a pedestal. Behind her stands a golden-hued deity murti group with a central deity in a red crown and a consort in a red sari, flanked by two guardian figures in red turbans and garlands of yellow and red flowers. Small golden figures and a golden yantra-shaped vessel sit at the base, with rose petals scattered on the floor. The scene is an abhishekam at a temple shrine with a red and gold backdrop.

A woman with long grey hair, wearing a white sari with small floral print, bends forward and touches a tall black Shivalinga set on a dark stone peetha in a temple shrine. Behind her stand golden deity murtis: a figure in a crown and red garment at centre, a goddess in red sari with a gold crown and garlands, and two attendant figures with garlands, one in a black turban and green-pink garment, the other in an orange turban and maroon dress with rudraksha malas. Yellow cloth sacks rest at the base, with a small golden kalasha-like pyramid and small gold statues in front. Red drapes and ornate arches frame the scene.

A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a gold blouse, wearing a face mask, pours liquid from a small vessel over a black stone Shivalinga on a dark pedestal base. Behind the lingam stand golden deity murtis adorned with fresh flower garlands in yellow, white, pink and red and jewelled necklaces; the central figures wear crowns and red and purple garments, and flanking figures wear turbans and ornate jewellery. A red cloth lies on the base at lower left, and a richly decorated arch frames the shrine. This appears to be a lingam abhishekam ritual in a temple setting.
