A close view of a ritual abhishekam on a white tray draped with an orange and red patterned cloth. A small brass deity murti stands on a pedestal at centre, beside a dark blue shivalinga and several tiny brass figures and a small brass figurine. Liquid pours down from above over the arrangement. A person's hand, wearing gold bangles and henna-decorated fingers, reaches in from the left, and a silver vessel with engraved patterns sits at the right. Two yellow flower offerings with green leaves lie on the tray. No people are fully visible.
