A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at a temple shrine. A priest's bare arms, one wrapped with a red and yellow sacred thread, pour water from a golden vessel over a dark stone deity murti. The murti has a tall cobra-hood form with a small figure beside it, marked with orange tilak spots, and the red and gold shrine backdrop with golden panels frames the scene. Water streams down the black stone. A small orange-and-face logo appears in the top-left corner and a caption reads Rahu Ketu Peyarchi - 21 Mar 2022 at the bottom.
