A screenshot-style frame of golden metal murti figures being bathed during an abhishekam, with white milk or water streaming over them. In the foreground a small golden standing figure with a white-tinged crown and bare torso stands centre, flanked by a figure in a red-and-gold dhoti-like garment on the right and a figure in maroon and gold drapery on the left, all statues rather than people. Behind them are larger golden deity figures and a blurred backdrop. A caption at the bottom reads Shatmurthy Abhishekam and Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam - Day 6. No physical people are visible.
