Close photograph of a dark stone deity murti being bathed in a ritual abhishekam. The black murti has a crown, a red mark on the forehead, and a gold necklace, with two raised hands holding small vessels. Its shoulders and body are draped in a thick, glistening dark-red liquid cloth, with water being poured from above by a hand in the upper left. At the left edge, a person in white robes with a gold border stands beside it. Gilded carved ornamentation frames the shrine arch behind the murti.
