Outdoors among green shrubs and rocky boulders, a figure in saffron-orange robes stands on a large dark boulder pouring water from a brass vessel over its surface, a ritual abhishekam-style offering. Two other saffron-robed people stand nearby on the rocks, and a person in white clothing stands further back to the left among the foliage. A dark stone boulder is central, with a rocky hillside behind.
