A small gilded four-armed deity murti, standing on a dark stone pedestal, is being bathed with milk poured from above. A hand wearing gold bangles and a light cloth sleeve pours the liquid over the crowned head. The murti holds a discus in one upper hand and a conch-like object in the other, with white milk streaming down its body and over the steps of the dark stone platform in an abhishekam ritual.
