Abhishekam being performed on a metal murti of Lord Subramanya (Murugan) standing with a vel spear and a peacock at his feet. Water pours down over the central figure from a large golden kalasha-style vessel held by hands of unseen devotees at the top edge. The murti wears a gold necklace, a long garland of gold beads, and a red dhoti-like cloth. Two flanking attendant figures in orange-yellow robes stand on either side, holding a lamp and a small object. Golden ornate arch-shaped canopy surrounds the scene.
