A close photograph of a copper Sri Yantra plate being bathed in liquid inside a wide bronze tray. A bare arm wearing a gold bangle reaches in from the upper left, pouring from a white vessel over the plate. The yantra shows nested triangles around a bindu, a lotus ring with Sanskrit syllables, and a square bhupura border with gateway lines. Two small brass deity murtis, a male and female pair with a lingam-like base, stand in the liquid at the bottom of the plate. The dark background and warm reflections on the copper suggest an abhishekam ritual.
