Before him are three bronze deity murtis dressed in orange cloth: a tall central figure holding a staff and a sceptre, flanked by two smaller figures with crowns. Pink flower offerings sit at their bases, and the gold-edged altar table is in front. Behind them is a carved stone shrine with a relief of a seated deity, and to the right is a gilded niche with a figure in green. The setting is a temple hall with red columns and a stone platform.2011-10-07A ritual abhishekam in a temple-like hall.
