Photograph inside a gold-decorated temple shrine. A young boy in an orange dhoti and leopard-print shawl, bare-chested with white sacred ash markings and rudraksha malas, pours liquid from a cloth bag onto a dark stone shivalingam set on a black pedestal. Behind him stand gilded deity murtis of a crowned male figure holding a trident and a female figure in a green and red sari, both adorned with jewelled necklaces and red-and-white flower garlands, framed by an ornate jewelled arch. A small deity murti with a flower garland and a brass lion sit at the base. The scene suggests abhishekam.
