A close photograph of a golden metal murti of a deity pair being bathed with a golden-yellow liquid poured from a silver vessel held by a hand in an orange garment at upper right. The left figure, a four-armed deity holding a drum and other objects, is gleaming gold, while the right figure, a smaller seated form with a crown, is also coated in the flowing yellow abhishekam liquid. Carved gold lattice panels frame the left edge and the background is blurred dark with out-of-focus figures in white. Other visible shapes are indistinct. This is an abhishekam being performed on the murti.
