A four-panel collage of abhishekam being performed on a seated stone deity murti with a crown and a small hand-lamp or ritual object at its left side. The murti is bathed in successive liquids: milk-white, turmeric yellow, and white-cream, running down its face and red-draped body against a deep red backdrop. Human hands and arms are visible at the edges of the frames pouring the offerings. No physical people are clearly identifiable as a full figure; the panels are a graphic collage of photographs.
