Close photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a bronze deity murti of Devi Rajarajeshwari, shown with a tall crown, red lips, four arms and a golden trident-like staff held in one hand. Liquid, apparently milk or a similar offering, pours over the figure and splashes into the air, with small droplets visible. The background is blurred gold with decorative ornamental panels. No physical people are visible; the figure is a statue. A printed caption at the bottom reads Sri Rajarajeshwari Abhishekam and Rajarajeshwari Brahmotsavam - Day 3.
