A photo of a priest performing abhishekam on a white statue of a deity standing on a golden pedestal beneath an ornate gold arch. The priest, bare-chested and wearing an orange dhoti, holds a brass vessel and pours liquid over the statue's head, which splashes down its body. He has white tripundra markings on his forehead and arms and wears a rudraksha mala. Brass vessels sit on the platform and blue crates and metal railings stand behind, with red stadium-style seating in the background.
