Close view of a white-coated deity murti of Shiva seated with Parvati beside him, being bathed in abhishekam. A bare hand with a gold bangle pours or touches the figures from above. The Shiva figure holds a trident-like staff and a drum, and the Parvati figure wears a crown. Gold ornate arch frames flank the statues, with a purple cloth and warm bokeh lights and a silver vessel in the background.

Shiva has a tilak on his forehead and a tall jata crown, and his right hand raises a damaru-like instrument; Parvati wears a conical crown, a gold chain, and a white sari with gold border. Streams of liquid run down the figures and base, consistent with abhishekam. Decorative brass arches frame the scene; a blurred red backdrop is behind. No living people are clearly visible, and no a person depiction is identifiable.2011-11-10 +1 copiesA close shot of an abhishekam being performed on a white-coated deity murti seated on a golden pedestal beside a gilded arch.
