A photograph of a golden deity murti in a temple-like setting, adorned with a thick garland of yellow, white, red and green flowers draped over its shoulders and arms. The murti wears an orange turban-like headdress with a jeweled ornament. In the foreground, a robed priest in orange and saffron clothing, with a bare shaved head and red tilak on the forehead, stands bowing with hands joined in front of the chest, holding a small ritual object. Behind them, ornate golden framing and colourful panels decorate the background. This appears to depict an abhishekam or puja offering to the murti.
