Close photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a small bronze deity murti standing in a polished silver bowl. A silver vessel with a curved spout pours liquid over the murti, while a few smaller bronze figures, a red flower and a dark stone sit around it. A blurred figure in saffron-toned clothing with a shaved head is partly visible at left, and a silver lamp hangs over the scene. Warm golden bokeh fills the lower right foreground.
