A two-panel photograph of a ritual abhishekam. On the left, a man in orange clothing leans over a gold-decorated basin, placing a small brass deity figure wrapped in red cloth into the water. Beside him, a second person in orange robes holds a brass kalasha pouring liquid. The right panel is a close-up of the brass pot pouring over a small brass deity figure with a crown, a sword and raised arms, dressed in red fabric. A gold-coloured ornate border surrounds the basin. Two or three people are partially visible, and the figure is a deity murti.
