A temple abhishekam at a shrine before two golden-faced deity murtis, one wearing a red and orange turban and the other a red blouse and pink skirt with a tall crown, both draped in garlands of yellow, red, purple and white flowers. A man in an orange robe with bare upper body pours white liquid from a silver vessel over the murtis onto a dark stone base, while a second man in orange robes stands at the left with palms joined in anjali. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, green coconuts hang above, and pink lotus petals are scattered along the front. A white statue with a pink garland sits at the lower right. Two physical people are visible.
