A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at an outdoor water tank. A bare-chested man in an orange dhoti pours liquid from a vessel over a golden-yellow deity murti standing beneath an ornate gilded arch. A young boy in an orange cloth stands beside him, and a woman with long matted dreadlocks in an orange sari bends over metal pots at the left. Yellow liquid streams down over the murti and the stone platform. Behind them, red stone steps hold more orange-clad people and a white-clad figure seated among the steps.
