A person in a red sleeveless top and orange dhoti-style wrap pours water from a brass vessel over a row of black stone murti on a tiled platform, with forehead markings visible. The dark sculptures include multiple deity figures and a tall Shivalinga-like form. Behind them, white statues wearing red turbans and ornate gold garlands stand near a red arched frame, with decorative items and a green cloth in the background. The scene reads as an abhishekam ritual.
