Abhishekam ritual at a temple shrine with a stone carved arch framing gold-trimmed deity murti figures in red and green garments and garlands. Three men stand at a golden pedestal performing the ritual: the central man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl pours liquid from a vessel over a small brass deity image, while two men in white dhotis assist, one holding a silver pot. Orange curtains hang at the sides and a golden lamp stand is visible at left. Wet floor reflects the water.
