Orange marigold garlands rest on the tray and around the figures, and a dark green stone lingam with a yellow flower sits at the base in front. Behind them, seated people in maroon robes are partly visible, and a bed of rudraksha beads is spread on a pink cloth with a brass kalasha and oil lamps nearby. The scene suggests an abhishekam and alankaram of the murtis. No people are clearly identifiable as a person.2021-03-15 +1 copiesClose view of a puja arrangement on a polished brass tray. Three bronze-coloured metal murtis stand on pedestals: a standing deity with four arms, a crown, and a necklace in the centre, flanked by a small figure with a shaved head and sacred mark on the left and a female figure in a draped sari on the right. Yellow and orange marigold flowers are placed at their feet and in their hands. In front sits a black stone shivalingam on a yoni base, decorated with a marigold and smeared with orange kumkum. Behind, a large framed picture of a deity is garlanded with yellow marigold and red flower garlands. Scattered petals lie on the tray.2021-03-22Abhishekam offering on a white marble tray before three bronze-toned statues.

The central figure is a multi-armed deity with a tall conical crown, a red tilak on the forehead, and holding objects in raised hands. To the left stands a smaller bare-chested figure with a red mark on the forehead, and to the right a female figure in a red and gold sari with a crown and a yellow tilak. Red, pink, white and yellow flowers float around their bases, and a hand holding a yellow marigold and a small metal dish enters from the lower right.
