Photograph of a ritual abhishekam at night, the image rotated sideways. A figure in an orange-red draped garment with a beaded gold-and-orange band across the chest, bare arms and a white mark on the forehead, bends over a large dark stone lingam-like object, pouring a golden liquid from a brass vessel that splashes across the stone. Another person in red-orange clothing with a wristwatch stands behind and reaches toward the stone. A pink-and-orange floral backdrop and a small stone deity-like figure are partly visible at the right edge. a person: the bent figure in orange-red robes with a beaded ornamental band and bare arms is a candidate for a person by appearance, but the face is not clearly visible and the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.
