A temple-style stage puja for the Meenakshi Pattabhishekam during the Chittirai Brahmotsavam. A deity murti of Meenakshi is seated on an ornate silver throne, draped in a pink and green silk sari, heavy gold jewellery, and garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, with a decorative parasol above. A man with long dreadlocks and a red-saffron robe, wearing a flower garland, stands with folded hands before the murti. Beside him a priest in a red-orange cloth and bare upper body with white markings stands, and a woman in orange-saffron clothes and bangles stands at right. Brass lamps, fruit and banana offerings and a silver kalasha sit in the foreground, with a golden deity statue and a backdrop of a starlit temple gopuram.
