Close photograph of a ritual abhishekam being performed on a deity murti heavily decorated with garlands. A hand in a red and gold bangle pours dark red liquid from a gold vessel with a handle onto the murti's base. The garlands are bands of red roses, white flowers, yellow marigolds and purple blooms, with green leaves heaped below. Gold ornaments and a gilded background surround the scene. No people's faces are visible, only the hand and a sleeve of a dark garment at the left edge.
