A dark stone murti of a serpent-hooded deity with a standing figure beside it is being bathed with water poured from a golden vessel held by a hand adorned with bracelets. Water streams over the dark stone, while red-and-gold ornamental background drapes and gold-embossed panels frame the scene. Red spots of kumkum or vermilion mark the stone forms. The image captures an abhishekam performed during the Rahu Ketu Peyarchi event at ADIKAILASA.
