A four-panel collage of abhishekam being performed on a dark stone deity murti seated with four arms, holding a trident-like staff and a small pot, wearing a draped cloth in green, orange and cream. In each panel, a person's arm and hand pour liquids from a brass or copper vessel over the murti: turmeric-yellow, milk or water, and a green-tinted liquid. Only partial arms of physical people are visible, and no full figure is shown. The murti sits against a plain pale yellow wall.
