Two side-by-side photographs of metal murti images being bathed with white milk-like liquid poured from above during abhishekam. Left: a gold-and-silver figure with trident and a kapala-like cup, with a deity murti in a circular golden halo below, against red drapery. Right: a white-coated standing murti with a red-and-gold cloth draped over one side, holding a trident and a small cup, against a dark backdrop. No physical people are visible; only the hand of an attendant pouring liquid at the top edge.
