A golden metal deity murti of Bhikshatanamurthy, a four-armed form of Shiva with a trident in one hand and a damaru-like drum in another, stands before a gilded backdrop with ornate floral carving and small coloured inlay panels. A priest in an orange-saffron cloth, his arms and skin marked with white ash, pours liquid from a silver vessel over the murti's head in an abhishekam. A caption at the bottom reads Bhikshatanamurthy Abhishekam, Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam - Day 8.
