Milky white liquid pours down over the platform edge into a steel bowl at the lower right, while yellow flowers float across the wet white-tiled floor. Only the feet and lower legs of the bronze murti and a reddish garment are visible at the top of the frame, with no people shown. A small silver tray sits at the lower left. The scene is a temple ritual bathing a deity image.2010-11-12September 19 20112011-09-19December 25 20152015-12-25December 31 20082008-12-31September 19 20112011-09-19A photograph of milk being poured over a black stone abhishekam base into a wide, shallow brass plate filled with white milk.
