A close photograph of a golden metal deity murti being bathed with water poured from a brass vessel held by a person in a red-orange garment at the left edge. The murti wears a tall crown, ornate armbands and a jewelled waist band, and holds a flame-like emblem at its shoulder. Water streams over its face and chest in a spray of droplets, and a smaller golden figure sits in front of it. The setting is a covered open-air shrine with grey stone above and foliage visible at the lower right.
