Close photo of a ritual abhishekam being performed. Two hands pour white milk from a silver bowl with embossed floral engraving over a dark stone or deity surface, while another hand holds a glass vessel. Pink and yellow flowers and petals surround the offering, and a blurred dark-haired head is visible at the right edge. No identifiable a person figure is visible; only hands and a blurred head appear, so the presence of a candidate cannot be confirmed.
