Close photo of a dark stone deity murti being bathed during an abhishekam. A hand at the upper left pours liquid from a white vessel, and a reddish stream runs over the carved crown onto the face of the murti. Carved ornamental patterns cover the headdress and shoulder, and the background shows warm yellow and orange drapery. No people are clearly visible beyond the pouring hand, and no a person candidate appears in the frame.

October 14 20212021-10-14A metal deity murti, dark stone or bronze with a crown and carved face, is being bathed by water poured from an ornate gold-and-silver vessel held by a hand at upper left. Water streams down over the face and headdress. Behind it a green cloth and warm yellow-orange draped fabric fill the background, and a trident-like carved element appears at right. No person's face or full body is visible; only the pouring hand. The scene matches an abhishekam ritual.
