A photograph of an abhishekam in progress at a temple. A hand in a dark maroon garment pours water from a gold kalasha pot over a small gold deity murti, standing with one hand raised and wearing a crown, a layered necklace and a long garland. Water streams down a black stone surface behind it. Beside the murti is a gold stepped pyramid-shaped object on a lotus-patterned base, and ornately carved gold panels fill the background.
