A photograph of an outdoor abhishekam at a small shrine. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head covering and long dark hair kneels on the ground, pouring milk from a copper vessel over a golden deity murti under an arched canopy. Milk and yellow liquid spill across the stone floor. Brass lamps and a brass bowl sit nearby, with a plastic container and a copper pot at the edge of the frame. Rudraksha beads hang on the saffron garments. The figure's appearance with long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha cues is consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown performing the ritual.
