A photograph of a temple abhishekam in progress: several dark bronze or stone deity murtis stand on pink-tinged bases while water is poured over them from a brass vessel held by an arm entering from the upper right. Water streams down the central figure, a four-armed deity holding objects in its hands. Red velvet drapes hang in the background. No people are visible apart from the pouring arm.
