A photograph of a dark bronze deity murti of Krishna, playing a flute, being bathed with liquid poured from a golden kalasha held by an unseen person's hands. Liquid splashes over the murti's face, headdress and shoulders, and the dressed statue wears a pale cream cloth. A wrist with a black thread is visible. Golden ornamented surfaces stand to the right and a blurred reddish building sits behind. The pouring is an abhishekam, but no people are physically seen beyond the hands and arm.
