Close-up photograph of a gilded Nataraja-style bronze murti of Shiva dancing, its face, chest and outstretched arms coated in flowing white milk-like abhishekam liquid. The deity wears a tall crown with a skull ornament, large radiating flame-like arch behind the head, and a snake draped over the shoulder and waist. A pinkish human finger is visible at the lower left edge. The statue is the only figure in view, so no physical person is counted beyond the partially visible hand.
