Outdoor abhishekam scene at a temple with a red and white checkered stepped wall strung with fairy lights and garlands. A long-haired figure in a red robe with a white flower garland sits on a raised golden seat or throne decorated with red and white flowers, with water spraying up from a fountain-like abhishekam vessel at left. A golden staff is held upright at right and a raised hand appears near it. A dense crowd of white-clad devotees, many with raised arms, surrounds the seat. Appearance-based candidate, probable: the figure's long hair, red robe and ceremonial garland are consistent with the page's a person reference, but the face is not used for identification.
