A golden bronze statue of a standing child figure, bare-chested and wearing a short loincloth, is being bathed with a golden-yellow liquid poured from a brass vessel held by a hand reaching in from the right. The liquid splashes over the statue's head, arms and base in an abhishekam-style offering. Behind it stands an ornately carved golden pillar with floral and scroll relief, and a metal railing and glass roof frame the scene. A deity murti is the subject; no living person's face is visible.

A small metal statue of a standing child deity murti, bare-chested with a red-orange dhoti, one hand raised in abhaya mudra and the other held at the waist, stands on a lotus-carved pedestal. Yellow liquid. No people are visible in the frame.

A small bronze or brass murti of a child deity standing on a square lotus-engraved pedestal, its body coated in a flowing yellow-orange liquid poured from above, as in a churnabhishekam. The figure is bare-chested with a dhoti-like cloth at the waist, one hand raised in abhaya-like gesture and the other resting near the hip. Orange liquid pools across the base and the surrounding surface. No people are visible; only the hand pouring the liquid appears at the top edge.

A bronze statue of a standing male deity figure, with raised hands and a dhoti-style lower garment, is being bathed in a stream of yellow liquid poured from a gold-coloured vessel held by a hand entering from the right. Yellow droplets splash in the air. The statue stands on a pedestal in front of an ornate gilded column carved with floral and scroll motifs, beneath a glass and steel canopy. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual. No people are clearly visible apart from the pouring hand and forearm, which belongs to an unseen person.

A golden-brown liquid. A pair of human hands holding a brass kalasha pours from above onto the head and shoulders of the figure, which has an open palm raised in blessing and wears a draped dhoti-style cloth. Behind it stand garlands of yellow and purple flowers and a seated white figure in orange robes, with orange silk drapes and brass vessels on a stone platform.
