The figure wears a yellow-white floral garland draped across the chest and a tall crown, with a hand raised near the chest. Water streams down from above, catching the light and splashing around the statue. Behind it, blurred strings of green, red and white lights glow in bokeh against a dark background. No living people are visible in the frame apart from a partial arm at the top right holding the vessel.2016-12-11 +1 copiesA golden-yellow statue of a standing male figure, bare-chested with a dhoti-style cloth wrapped at the waist, has its right hand raised in a blessing gesture. A devotee in an orange garment and a gold bangle pours a thick yellow liquid. Green eye paint is visible on the statue. The background shows grey steps and a blurred red railing.2010-12-19 +1 copiesClose photograph of a gold-coloured metal deity murti being bathed with a flowing stream of yellow liquid. The figure wears a crown, earrings, a pendant necklace, armbands and a deep maroon dhoti-style garment, with a green patterned cloth below. A golden shawl-like cloth hangs from the poured stream. A rudraksha bracelet is visible on a human wrist at the upper right, though the person is only partially in frame. The scene reads as an abhishekam in progress.2013-10-13March 04 20192019-03-04September 29 20092009-09-29Close photograph of a turmeric-yellow liquid being poured over a dark green statue or linga during an abhishekam. Thick yellow fluid cascades down in sheets and splashes, with green-tinged streaks visible in the flow. At left, a person in a maroon sari with a beaded rudraksha-style mala and bangles pours from a vessel. Behind, a figure in a sparkling embellished pink and gold garment with beadwork at the shoulders stands near other devotees in ornate ceremonial clothing. Warm stage lighting highlights the ritual.2017-02-24December 12 20162016-12-12A photograph of a standing statue of a man with short hair and a bare chest, draped in a dhoti-style cloth and raising one hand in blessing, being anointed with thick golden-yellow liquid poured from a metal vessel. A person in an orange robe and a gold bangle pours the liquid over the statue's head, and yellow droplets splash through the air. The statue is a depiction, not a physical person present, and the scene appears to be a ritual abhishekam. No readable event name is visible in the image itself.2010-12-19 +1 copiesA photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a gilded deity murti standing under an ornate golden arch. A person's hand, wearing gold bangles and a thin bracelet and draped in a red-and-maroon sari, pours a liquid from a silver vessel over the statue. The murti wears a yellow-gold skirt and a draped shawl, and holds a small cup-shaped object in one hand, and the golden liquid streams down its body. Droplets spray in the air. No visible face of a person candidate is present, and the pouring person's face is not visible.2011-11-01
