A photograph of a golden processional deity pair seated on a raised golden platform under a decorated canopy outdoors. A man in a white dhoti and kurta with a yellow-orange shawl stands on the platform and pours liquid from a metal vessel over the head of the seated male deity. The figures are gold-coloured, with a crown, multiple arms and a female consort beside him; red flowers, scattered fruit, berries and petals cover the platform and floor. Two small glass bottles labelled Nithyananda honey sit at the left edge, and a second man in white stands at the far left. A blue illuminated sign above reads a Tamil dedication to the deities, and a small Ganesha relief appears on a pillar. The scene shows an abhishekam during a ratha yatra procession.
