A priest seated at lower left, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and orange-red cloth, pours liquid from a silver vessel over a clear crystal linga on a flower-garlanded base, during an abhishekam at a temple shrine. Behind him stand three decorated deity murti: a central figure in white dhoti with a crown and gold necklaces, flanked by figures in orange-red and gold garments with crowns and jewelled necklaces, all draped in white jasmine and red and pink flower garlands. A gold arched frame and yellow satin cloth complete the shrine. The priest's face is not clearly visible enough to judge; no candidate in person is present.
