A bronze-colored bust of a man with a mustache and a smiling face receives an abhishekam, with water poured from a vessel held by a hand at the top left. A hand with a beaded bracelet and white sacred markings pours the water over the murti's head. The bust wears an ornate collar necklace and has a golden draped background. Caption reads Rathotsavam - Abhishekam of Bhagavan Murthy of The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam, Nithyanandotsavam 2021 Day 7. The murti is a sculpted image rather than a physical person, and no one is shown in the frame beyond the pouring hand.
