Close photo of an abhishekam in progress. A bare arm of a priest pours liquid from a golden vessel over a dark stone murti of a four-armed deity, shown with a tall crown and holding a conch and mace. The murti stands before an ornate gold arched frame with floral carved edges and a glittering backdrop. The priest wears a rudraksha-style bracelet on the wrist, and the liquid streams down over the head and shoulders of the deity.
