Temple abhishekam scene: a hand pours water from a copper kalasha over a small copper shrine or lingam-like form set on a large brass pedestal with a golden top. Behind it is a decorated altar with a deity murti draped in saffron and white cloth, adorned with gold ornaments, rudraksha beads and marigold garlands. A brass lamp with incense sticks sits in front, and a brass figure of a standing attendant wearing an orange sari and marigold garland stands at left. Pink and green silk saris and blue fabric drape the background shrine.
