The milk runs down the statue's head, chest and legs onto a golden pedestal, a ritual abhishekam. A golden arched frame stands behind, with a blurred red wall and white railings in the background.2017-07-31August 22 20182018-08-22February 23 20172017-02-23February 17 20172017-02-17Photo 11715108 +2 copiesA photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a standing statue of a male figure with a raised right hand in abhaya mudra. The statue is bathed in milk or a white liquid poured from a golden kalasha held by a hand with a gold bangle at the left edge of the frame. The figure wears a dhoti-style lower garment and is bare-chested, with a smiling face and dark-outlined eyes. Red flower offerings lie at its feet on a gold-bordered pedestal. Behind it are garlands of yellow and purple flowers, a purple drape, and a saffron-clad figure in the background. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.2010-12-19August 22 20182018-08-22September 23 20182018-09-23 +1 copiesA photograph of a standing statue being bathed with milk during an abhishekam. The white-coated statue wears a draped dhoti-style cloth and raises one hand in a blessing gesture, its feet adorned with red flowers on a golden base. A pair of hands from the left pours milk from a gold vessel over its head, and milk streams down the body. Behind it are purple and gold cloth hangings and yellow marigold garlands, with a figure in orange robes partly visible. The statue depicts a figure in a pose similar to a sannyasi, not a clearly identifiable person.2010-12-19
