A photograph of a ritual abhishekam to a richly adorned deity murti seated on a gold-ornamented throne. Three priests in white dhotis and white turbans stand at the left and right. The priest on the left wears a rust-orange garment and holds a small silver vessel aloft while pouring. The central priest in white holds a yellow offering to the murti, and the priest on the right in white with a gold turban holds a yellow item toward the deity. The murti wears a gold crown, gold and jewelled necklaces, and an orange drape, and is surrounded by garlands of white jasmine, red roses, yellow marigolds and green leaves. A gold arch frames the throne and a red-and-yellow floral backdrop fills the scene.
