A photograph of a statue being bathed in milk during an abhishekam ritual. A hand holding a golden pot pours white liquid over a standing sculpted figure with a bare torso and a draped white-and-gold dhoti, its right hand raised in abhaya mudra. Milk streams down the face, chest and legs, and splashes spray around the figure. Red flower garlands sit at its feet on a gold-edged base. Behind it are purple and yellow marigold garlands and a white cloth, with a figure in orange robes partly visible. The statue is not a living person; the hand belongs to a devotee performing the offering.
