He wears a garland of yellow and red flowers, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist, and a reddish-brown cloth. The standing bronze-gold deity murti wears a white dhoti, a white and red flower garland, a crown, and holds a trident-like staff. Beside it, another murti in a crown with white and red garlands stands, and a smaller figure is adorned with a garland of white and pink flowers, next to a gold-coloured stand. Pink and white flowers and green leaves lie at the base, and the warm beige tiled wall stands behind them.2014-06-28 +1 copiesApril 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesApril 14 20182018-04-14 +1 copiesJune 28 20142014-06-28 +1 copiesMarch 02 20182018-03-02A photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a small gold-faced deity murti standing on a golden tray.

On the right, a person seen from behind with hair tied in a bun with red flowers, wearing gold earrings, bangles, a maroon wrap and a yellow and red garland, extends a hand toward the figures, apparently offering or touching a flower. A wooden staircase with a decorative railing and a tiled wall are behind them.2014-06-28 +1 copiesA photograph of an abhishekam ritual.

A second man in white dhoti and shawl with gold necklace and shaved head stands behind, next to a small bell on a gold-decorated stage.
