A photograph of a ritual abhishekam setup on a tray in a temple room. In the foreground, a black stone shivalinga sits on a brass tray with water pouring over it, flanked by three small metal deity murtis, one holding an object. Marigold and pink flowers and a lit oil lamp are placed nearby. Behind, a red cloth covers the altar and red curtains hang at the window. At the upper left, a figure in orange-brown clothing with a garland and bangles is partly visible, but no face is shown. The setting suggests a home temple puja.
