A photograph of a ceremonial abhishekam at an indoor stage with red carpet and warm stage lighting. A large dark stone deity murti with a multi-hooded serpent canopy stands at the right against a blue-lit backdrop. Priests in white dhotis and shawls kneel and stand around a brass kalasha and oil lamp, performing the ritual. Devotees in saris, kurtas and a child in white stand in a line at the right, watching. A man at the centre wears an orange turban and a rudraksha mala and is seated on a rug, but his appearance is not a clear identifying match, so no a person identification is made. Brass trident-topped stands surround the platform.
