A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti with red border stands at left, pouring golden liquid from a brass kalasha pot over a bronze deity murti. The murti wears a pink and white flower garland, a gold sari with a red-bordered hem, and holds a small cup in one hand. The liquid splashes in the air, marking abhishekam ritual bathing. The priest has a shaved head, rudraksha mala on his neck and wrist, and a sacred thread. A black stone structure and blurred onlookers appear behind. He is not identifiable as a person from appearance cues here.

November 27 20162016-11-27A shaved-headed priest in an orange dhoti with red border stands barefoot in shallow yellow liquid, pouring from a brass kalasha onto a golden deity murti. The murti wears a pink and mauve flower garland, and turmeric-yellow liquid splashes around its base, a black stone basin carved with lotus petals behind. The priest wears a rudraksha mala and beaded bracelets, with white vibhuti markings on his chest and forehead. Another person in orange cloth is blurred in the background on red steps. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual.2016-11-26 +1 copiesNovember 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesNovember 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesDecember 14 20162016-12-14November 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesNovember 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesNovember 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesDecember 06 20162016-12-06December 06 20162016-12-06November 24 20162016-11-24December 14 20162016-12-14
