A close-up of a ritual abhishekam at a temple shrine. A person in an orange-red sari and rudraksha bracelets pours milk from a silver vessel over a white shivalinga-like object on a pink flower-strewn platform. Beside it stand a small golden figure of a standing devotee with hands raised and a golden deity murti draped in a red cloth. A black stone yoni-pitha base and flower petals surround the scene. Only the lower body and hands of the pourer are visible.
