Behind it, the legs of a person wearing orange-red dhoti or cloth are visible. Next to the standing figure is a golden shri yantra-style meru-shaped base with stepped triangular tiers. Scattered red rose petals and white flowers lie on the wet stone floor and a silver-patterned plate, consistent with an abhishekam offering.2007-10-25March 03 20112011-03-03 +1 copiesA close photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a golden-yellow murti of Subramanya (Murugan) with a spear-like vel and a peacock beside him.

Yellow flowers lie at its base and the abhishekam liquid runs across the platform. The stone wall behind shows carved relief. No a person candidate is visible; only a hand and orange-clad arm appear at the edge.2010-11-12A gilded metal murti of a deity with a tall crown and orange draped cloth is being anointed. A silver vessel held by a hand at upper left pours a golden-brown liquid over the statue, which glistens as it runs down the orange cloth and sacred thread. The deity holds a staff-like emblem in one raised hand and gestures with the other. Partially visible at left edge, a second gilded figure with a radiant back halo wears orange cloth. The setting is an abhishekam ritual, with blurred light background. No living person is clearly visible apart from the pouring hand.2011-10-07October 07 20112011-10-07
