Photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a gilded bronze murti of a seated deity with a child figure beside it, set within an ornate arched metal frame. A person in an orange-and-gold sari and beaded bracelets pours liquid from a silver vessel over the figures. The seated deity holds a trident-like staff and wears a tall crown; the smaller figure wears a white cloth and a pendant. Behind are gold draped stands, pink and green cloth, and a blue backdrop. Only the partially visible arm and sari of the person pouring are shown.
