A close photograph of a brass or gilded bronze standing murti, with a hand pouring a golden liquid. The bronze figure is bare-chested, wears a carved waist cloth with a belt, and stands on a lotus-style base on a wooden platform. Behind it is a maroon silk drape within an ornate gold-toned arch with carved floral and peacock-like motifs, and a few small deity figures are visible at the upper right. The liquid streams down the body and pools on the base, indicating an abhishekam being performed.

A close photo of a small metal figure of a standing male saint or devotee being bathed. A hand pours a stream of yellow liquid from a brass vessel over the head of the figure, which is coated in yellow and stands on a silver pedestal with carved designs. The figure holds a white disc with cupped hand and wears a dhoti-style lower garment.
