Close photo of a black stone deity murti being bathed in abhishekam. A pair of hands holds a brass or golden vessel tilted over the head, pouring water that streams down over the carved figure's crown, shoulders and multiple raised arms. A yellow flower sits on the chest. The deity is carved with a tiered crown and ornaments against a deep maroon backdrop. Only the hands and forearms of one person are visible, with a ring on one finger.
