A photograph of a ceremonial stage at a Meenakshi Pattabhishekam puja. A central figure sits on an ornate silver throne with a silver canopy umbrella, its back decorated with red, white and purple flower garlands. He wears a red robe, a green and gold head wrap, a gold ceremonial necklace and long flower garlands, and holds a silver staff. Two attendants stand at the left edge: one bare-chested with a white cloth and a rudraksha mala, the other in an orange-red turban and bare chest. A tall gold statue of a goddess with a crown stands at right, beside silver ritual vessels and a backdrop showing a illuminated temple gopuram. An air conditioning unit and red drapes frame the room.
