The statue has long hair, a white loincloth and a raised right hand, and it stands on a gold-ornamented pedestal inside an ornate golden tray. Behind them is a grey stone pillar with carved figures and a red-and-gold metal gate with a green hedge. Liquid streams down the statue's body, consistent with abhishekam. Brass bells and small offering vessels are visible on a stone ledge.2010-12-19 +1 copiesClose photo of abhishekam being performed on a small bronze deity murti of Subramanya, a standing figure holding a spear (vel) and other implements. A person in an orange-red sari with gold border and gold earrings and bangles pours a liquid from a white metal kalasha-style pot over the figure, which is streaming with the liquid. The bronze base sits in a shallow golden tray with liquid pooling around it, and a gold-decorated structure is visible in the background.2011-11-01September 21 20172017-09-21March 03 20112011-03-03 +1 copiesA young boy in an orange saffron cloth wrapped around his waist and a rudraksha mala draped over his bare shoulders pours water from a brass vessel over a bronze deity murti. The murti wears a tall crown, a white and gold-bordered dhoti, and holds a ceremonial staff. The boy's back faces the camera, and a metal structure and bright sky appear behind him. The bronze figure is a statue, not a person.2017-07-24A close photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a small bronze murti of Subramanya (Murugan) holding a spear (vel) and a flag. A hand in a red sari-style garment with gold-bordered hem and gold bangles pours water from a metal vessel over the figure, which stands in a shallow basin with yellow flowers floating nearby. Water cascades down the bronze, and an ornate gold-toned wooden structure appears at right.2011-11-01
