A black stone deity murti seated on a dark pedestal under a gold brocade canopy, draped in a red silk cloth with gold border, with white milk or abhishekam liquid running down its body and the red cloth. Its multiple arms are raised, and a cone-shaped crown sits on its head. In the foreground, a wooden-tinted small figure and a larger white-streaked bust, presumably statues, are being bathed in liquid, and a gold stupa-shaped kalasha stands at the right. A hand with bangles reaches in from the left, pouring liquid. The scene shows an abhishekam ritual to the deity murti. No people are clearly identifiable as physical persons in the scene beyond the partially visible hand.

The milk flows down over the figure's face and chest onto a red and gold draped cloth covering its lap. The murti rests on a carved pedestal showing small figures, and a dark background surrounds it. This appears to be a milk abhishekam of a deity murti.2022-07-12 +1 copies
