A metal deity murti of Subramanya (Murugan) stands on a tray while abhishekam is performed. A large silver vessel tilts above it, pouring a thick golden-yellow liquid over the figure, which is coated with the offering and bits of fruit or nut. Yellow flowers lie on the tray, and a red cloth hangs in the background beside a gold-framed carved stand holding yellow fabric and offerings.
