A close-up photograph of a golden metal statue of a man with short wavy hair and bare shoulders, being anointed. A hand holding an ornate silver bowl pours a thick, creamy substance over the statue's head, which runs down its face, neck and chest, with red fruit or flower pieces stuck in the mixture. The statue's raised palm is visible at lower left, and a gilded ornamental arch frames the background. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual performed on a murti.
