A person in an orange-red sari and rudraksha bracelets pours milk from a silver vessel over a white shivalinga-like object on a pink flower-strewn platform. Beside it stand a small golden figure of a standing devotee with hands raised and a golden deity murti draped in a red cloth. A black stone yoni-pitha base and flower petals surround the scene. Only the lower body and hands of the pourer are visible.2017-08-25March 03 20112011-03-03 +1 copiesA photograph of a gold-coloured metal deity murti standing on a grey stone slab, being bathed in a cascade of water poured from a vessel held by a person in an orange-red garment. The murti is a standing figure with an ornate crown, elaborate jewellery and a rudraksha-like garland, with a stepped gold pyramidal base or meru-like form beside it. Yellow flowers lie scattered on the wet stone. Only the pouring hands and orange-clad lower body of the person are visible, so the official is only partly shown. This appears to depict an abhishekam bathing ritual.2007-10-25March 03 20112011-03-03 +1 copiesJuly 03 20082008-07-03A photograph of an abhishekam ritual at a temple. A golden deity murti stands on a footed pedestal with a small golden tiered base, and water pours over it from a large brass vessel held by a priest wearing an orange cloth and white dhoti. Red flower petals lie on the wet floor, and a woman with a white forehead band and red bindi, wearing an orange garment and bangles, sits at the left edge looking on. Water droplets spray around the murti.2007-10-25
