A close photograph of a large golden-brown sculpted deity murti being bathed with liquid. The figure wears a tall ornate crown with a crescent moon motif, heavy necklaces and armlets, and holds a small ritual vessel. A red cloth backdrop fills the background, and a blurred person in pale clothing appears at the left edge. No living person's face is clearly visible; the a person candidate is not present in this image.
