A dark stone deity murti with a tall crown and carved face is being bathed by water pouring down from above during an abhishekam. Gold-patterned cloth and a gold canopy frame the murti, and a green cloth sits beneath it. At the left edge, a bare arm with bead bracelets and an orange-saffron garment belongs to a person partly out of frame. Two smaller carved stone figures flank the central murti. The bottom caption reads Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adi KAILASA, Navaratri 2021, Day 6 - Sri Rajarajeshwari Abhishekam & Kalasha Yatra.
