A photograph of an annabiseham offering centred on a large brass plate heaped with cooked white rice, decorated with carrots, a white radish and red roses. A small gold deity murti stands in the rice, draped with a garland, with two more gold murtis wearing crowns and red tilaka behind it. To the left a lit oil lamp burns beside a brass bell and a brass ritual vessel. A framed picture of a deity with a halo sits on the left. Behind the offering, the lower legs of a seated person in orange-saffron cloth and a red-and-white flower garland are visible, but no face is shown. Orange cloth covers the altar surface, with loose red rose petals scattered around and a banana at the right edge.
