Close-up photograph of a ritual abhishekam being performed on a silver-toned deity murti or ceremonial figure. A man's hand, wearing a thin sacred thread on the wrist, pours milk or a white liquid from a metal vessel over the decorated metal form, which has ornate engraved patterns and a raised crown-like top. Blurred figures in the background suggest a gathered audience. The scene is lit warmly against a dark setting.
