Close-up photograph of a golden metal deity murti's bare feet standing on a copper-coloured peetha or base, with mounds of white powder heaped over the feet and base and water or milk streaming down the background. The ornate gold dhoti or lower garment with floral engraving is visible above the feet. This is an abhishekam of the murti during the Rathotsavam of Nithyanandotsavam. No people are visible. A small portrait in the top-left corner shows a smiling man with orange turban, a photographic inset on the screen rather than a physical person in the scene.
