Photograph of a dark stone deity murti being bathed in milk during abhishekam. A hand in a gold bangle pours milk from a brass vessel over the figure's shoulder, and milk streams down the body and base. The murti wears a layered necklace, armlets, a sash-like orange-red cloth at the waist and a tall jatamukuta-style crown; it holds a flaming or ornamental object in one raised hand. Red and blue tassels hang at the right edge. The background is a deep maroon wall. No a person candidate is visible; only a statue and a partial arm are shown.

The milk flows down over the figure's face and chest onto a red and gold draped cloth covering its lap. The murti rests on a carved pedestal showing small figures, and a dark background surrounds it. This appears to be a milk abhishekam of a deity murti.2022-07-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82901472022-07-12 +1 copiesKAILASA HOUSTON, USA on 7/12/20222022-07-12 +1 copiesPhoto 82856462022-01-30 +1 copiesFeb 6 2022 sripuram2022-02-06 +3 copiesFeb 6 2022 sripuram2022-02-06 +3 copiesFeb 6 2022 sripuram2022-02-06 +1 copiesFeb 20 2022 sripuram2022-02-06 +1 copiesA photograph of a ritual abhishekam in progress.
