A close photograph of a golden-toned metal murti of Shiva seated with Parvati beside him under an ornate arched metal canopy, being bathed with a liquid that pours down over the figures onto the pedestal. Two hands, one wearing a beaded bracelet, hold a silver vessel tilted over Shiva's head, as in an abhishekam. Shiva holds a trident-like implement and a drum, and the image's base is wet with the poured liquid. The blurred background shows a blue cloth and a green panel.
