Annabhishekam ritual photograph showing a golden-toned murti seated within an ornate golden arched backrest, with a thick stream of white food offering poured over it, sprays and droplets flying in the air. The figure wears a turban-like head covering and a patterned shawl, and its raised hand is in a blessing gesture. In the foreground, blurred fruits and greens sit in a tray at lower left. Warm golden lighting dominates the scene.

The gilded arched prabhavali, flame-like side finials and a scroll-shaped ornament frame the murti. A bed of flowers and a pile of fruit lie in the foreground.
