A photograph of a person in an orange-red saffron wrap and a dark rudraksha mala with gold ornaments pouring water from a silver vessel over a golden metal murti of a deity seated beside another golden figure with a tall crown. The golden murtis have a bright gold finish, red lips and kohl-lined eyes, and water streams down over them. The surrounding golden arch frames the scene, with green foliage visible behind. The bare-shouldered person with long hair tied back is performing abhishekam. The person's ornate clothing and rudraksha mala are visible, but the identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

Water streams down the figure's face and chest. Beside it stands a second bronze deity with a tall crown, ornate necklaces and bangles, and red lips, with a golden arch behind them and greenery visible beyond. The scene reads as a cold-water abhishekam ritual at an outdoor shrine. The pot-pouring figure is seen from behind and partially, so no appearance-based a person candidate is established.2009-06-15
