Close view of a temple abhishekam at a richly gilded altar or throne. A woman in a blue sari with a silver bangle and ring pours milk from a small silver cup over a gold-embossed base, while a red-robed figure's bare feet rest at the left edge. Red and purple flowers scatter across the gold surface, with a silver plate holding a red fruit and offerings beside them. The visible people are only partly in frame, and no face is shown.
