A golden-metal murti of a goddess, with a crown, yellow garment and gold ornaments, is being bathed in a white liquid poured from a vessel held by a pair of hands at upper left; the liquid streams down over her head and shoulders, consistent with abhishekam. She holds ceremonial staff-like objects and stands before an ornate gold lattice screen with cut-out quatrefoil windows. A caption across the bottom reads 'rajarajeshwari and swamiji abhishekam | day 3 | rajarajeshwari brahmotsavam'. No people are shown in full; only the pouring hands are visible.
