A photograph of a shrine inside a temple: a gilded deity canopy with silver pillars and a silver arched top sits against a reddish stone wall. A deity murti is largely covered by thick garlands of pink roses. A hand wearing a gold bangle and rings pours liquid from a brass vessel with a spout over the shrine, and a lit flame glows at the right. Silver pots stand at the base, with green leaves placed in front, and a white conch-like object sits at the left. The scene shows abhishekam-style worship. No people's faces are visible, only one arm.
