Photograph of an abhishekam being performed at a golden temple shrine for Subramanya during Thaipoosam 2022. A bare-chested priest with a long rudraksha mala and white markings on his body stands at left, reaching toward the gilded frame. Three golden-toned murti figures stand before a perforated gold-and-red lattice: a central four-armed deity with a tall crown holding ritual objects, flanked by two smaller figures in cream and maroon draped cloth. The scene is warm and gold-lit, with the caption reading Subramanya Abhishekam, Thaipoosam 2022, Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adhi Kailash.
