A photograph of a temple ritual outdoors. A man in an orange-red saffron cloth and a heavy gold beaded necklace pours water from a brass vessel over a small bronze deity murti standing on a black stone base. Beside him, a man in white dhoti with a white shawl and beaded necklace stands at the left. Behind them are a bronze figure with raised hand, an ornate golden arch, a dark stone shivalinga-like pillar, and a corrugated metal roof with strings of beads overhead. The scene is a abhishekam being performed with the bronze murti and brass pot.
