A photograph inside a temple hall of a ceremonial abhishekam scene before a seated deity murti. Left, two priests in saffron-orange dhotis with bare chests and long braided hair hold a silver vessel and a ritual item, while a third attendant in white with a sacred mark stands further left. In the centre, a figure with long dark hair and a red turban, bare-backed and wearing gold armbands, stands with his back to the camera. The seated deity murti on a golden throne wears a crown and red-and-gold robes with jewelled ornaments and holds a raised hand. A garland of marigolds and red flowers hangs before a large colourful floral arch with yellow, red and white blooms. The grey concrete ceiling is plain.
