A photo of an abhishekam being performed on a small bronze-coloured standing deity murti on a white stone slab. A person's hand, wearing gold bangles, pours milk or liquid from a golden vessel over the figure, which has four arms, a crown and a halo-like backdrop. Behind it, a dark stone wall with several carved or moulded shapes glistens with wet liquid running down in streaks. The statue is shown in profile with water and white residue trickling down its body onto the slab. No faces are visible and no individual is identifiable.
