A golden metal deity murti of Bhikshatanamurthy, a Shiva form with four arms, stands in an ornate golden shrine arch with a trident in one hand and a sacred bowl-like vessel beside it. A man on the left, bare-chested with white tilak markings on his chest and arms and rudraksha beads on his wrist, pours liquid from a vessel over the murti during abhishekam. A saffron-orange shawl hangs over his shoulder. A small figure in the lower right supports a bowl at the murti's base. The caption reads Bhikshatanamurthy Abhishekam, Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam, Day 8.
