Milky white liquid pours down over the platform edge into a steel bowl at the lower right, while yellow flowers float across the wet white-tiled floor. Only the feet and lower legs of the bronze murti and a reddish garment are visible at the top of the frame, with no people shown. A small silver tray sits at the lower left. The scene is a temple ritual bathing a deity image.2010-11-12September 19 20112011-09-19Close-up photograph of a ritual abhishekam being performed on a silver-toned deity murti or ceremonial figure.
