A temple abhishekam scene at night. A priest in a rust-red dhoti with a red-and-white headband and tripundra markings applies white paste to a large white shivalinga, his right arm extended and streaked with white powder. Behind him, another priest in a saffron-orange shawl and rudraksha mala holds a silver tray. To the left, a bald man in a saffron garment stands partly visible. Behind the lingam, a garlanded deity murti wears a red-and-orange turban, with marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red and white hanging around it. Gold ornaments and a gilded hand are visible on the right.
