A close photo of a golden tray of water with rose and pink petals floating on it, where three small gold-coloured murti stand on pedestals: a figure on the left with a red bindi and raised hand, a central four-armed deity murti with a tall crown holding a trident-like object and a flower petal, and a female figure on the right with red forehead mark. Two incense sticks are held by a hand near the tray, with a bowl of dates on the red and gold brocade cloth. The hand bears a blue trident tattoo on the wrist. Red garlands and a small framed picture appear in the background, with a small flag at right. The scene suggests a ritual abhishekam setting.
