A man's hand, wearing a silver bangle with a red stone, is held low over the brass pot, while another person's hand, wearing gold bangles and a gold ring, holds a polished steel bowl and pours water. Only hands and forearms are visible, so no faces appear. The setting appears to be an abhishekam or puja, with water being poured over a sacred object. A small green leaf is visible near the bowl.
