Close-up photo of a golden-hued metal murti being anointed with a flowing liquid. The sculpted face has a smiling expression, a forehead tilak, and an ornate crown with decorative pleats. Blurred gold-coloured ornamental panels and a hand wearing rudraksha malas appear at the left edge, against a dark background. The caption reads Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adi KAILASA and Navaratri 2021, Day 7 - Abhishekam to SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam's Mula Vigraha. This is a deity murti, not a person, so no physical people are counted beyond the partially visible hand.
