Photograph of a temple abhishekam at a shrine with a large deity murti draped in purple and teal cloth and garlanded with yellow and purple flower garlands. In front, a golden statue of a seated figure is being bathed. A man in orange robes and a shaved head pours liquid from a golden pot over the golden statue, while a second man in white dhoti with a white shawl and beaded necklaces holds a golden vessel at the left. Brass oil lamps stand on the stone platform, and the blurred silhouettes of seated devotees fill the foreground.

Two priests in white dhotis, one bare-chested, hold brass pots at the left, while a figure in saffron-orange robes pours from a pot toward a seated figure at the centre in orange cloth. A golden standing figure stands at the base of the shrine. Orange curtains frame the structure, and a silhouetted audience fills the foreground.2010-12-19 +1 copiesDecember 19 20102010-12-19 +1 copiesA shaved-headed priest in an orange saffron dhoti and orange upper cloth stands at left, lifting a silver plate overhead and sprinkling yellow flower petals over a golden standing figure of a devotee with hands folded, on a gold-trimmed pedestal. Behind, two large deity murtis wear purple and teal garments with yellow and purple flower garlands, a white cloth covers a table, and brass lamps and a kalasha-like object line the stone temple platform. This appears to be a puja or abhishekam ritual with flower offering in a temple setting.2010-12-19 +1 copiesDecember 19 20102010-12-19December 19 20102010-12-19
