A photograph of a shirtless man in an orange-brown dhoti and matching shawl pouring liquid from a brass vessel over a golden statue of a standing figure with hands folded in namaskar. The statue has a shaved head and wears a small loincloth; a visible gold figure stands on a pedestal. The man has white sacred markings on his arms and a rudraksha mala at his neck. Behind him are garlands of yellow, orange, white and purple flowers hung on a frame, and metal railings with tiered seating blurred in the background. The scene suggests an abhishekam offering.

The statue has a bare head and folded hands, and the pouring water shows as a spray. Behind them is a tall decorative column of marigold and purple flower garlands, and white metal railings frame the scene. Blurred tiered seating with spectators and red flags fills the background. The scene matches an abhishekam-style pouring on a statue; no visible person clearly matches the a person description, so the statue is a depiction of a figure rather than a living person.2016-12-03A golden-bronze standing deity murti, a young boy-form figure with hands in abhaya-like gesture, is being bathed in a stream of liquid poured from a large golden kalasha held by a bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti on the right edge. The murti stands on a tiered pedestal beside an ornately carved golden gateway or pillar, with liquid splashing across its body and base. In the blurred background, many people in orange and white clothing sit in rows. The priest has white sacred markings on his arm.2017-02-26December 06 20162016-12-06A bronze statue of a seated figure stands under a metal frame, draped with white and red flower garlands, while a bare-chested priest in an orange-brown shawl pours golden liquid from a brass pot over its head. The priest has a shaved head, rudraksha beads on his wrists and neck, and a red-orange cloth wrapped on his lower body. Behind him a large garland of yellow, orange and purple flowers hangs, and a blurred crowd of devotees stands in the background. The statue is being bathed in an abhishekam ritual. The priest is a shaved-headed ritual officiant, and no appearance-based candidate for a person is present in this image.2016-12-05A man bare-chested with rudraksha malas and a red-and-gold striped dhoti pours water from a brass vessel over a bronze statue of a seated figure wearing a white and red flower garland.
