A hand holding a white conch shell pours liquid over a golden metal Sri Yantra, a layered pyramid-shaped ritual object, placed on a gold-cloth covered base within a gold tray. Red flower petals rest at its base, and green leaves and a coconut appear in the foreground. Behind it hangs a red and gold brocade cloth. The scene suggests an abhishekam ritual. No person's face or full figure is visible, only the arm and hand, so the a person field is none.

A photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a golden Sri Chakra meru-shaped yantra. A hand holding a white conch shell pours milk or water over the tiered golden structure, which sits on a gold-draped platform in front of a red and gold brocade backdrop. Red flower petals rest at the base of the yantra. In the foreground a coconut wrapped with green mango leaves sits beside a small bunch of white jasmine flowers, and a metal vessel stands to the right. The visible person is only the arm and hand of the officiant, so no full figure is shown.A ritual abhishekam scene: a hand in a white conch shell pours water over two gold kalasha-style vessels set in a shallow gold tray on a gold-brocaded cloth. Behind is a red and gold silk backdrop and a potted plant. Mango leaves and a tuft of fibre sit in the foreground, with a steel vessel at lower right and a sleeve in white cloth. Only a single arm and hand are visible in the frame, plus a partial hand at the far left edge.October 24 20152015-10-24September 19 20152015-09-19October 08 20072007-10-08November 01 20112011-11-01May 27 20132013-05-27January 17 20102010-01-17May 01 20062006-05-01March 25 20132013-03-25September 25 20112011-09-25October 15 20112011-10-15
