For Border Zones, Prabakar Visvanath participated with museum staff in a project that confronts the boundaries between the sacred and the secular, between performance art and the performance of sacred text, and between contemporary art and cultural practice.

He conducted an abishekam, or ritual renewal, of a divine Hindu deity image (bronze artifact) from the Museum's collection. His ritual purification of the image (which, not insignificantly, involved much negotiation between conservation and curatorial departments) was filmed and is shown in the gallery alongside a live-stream projected image of the figure re-located to the public display case in MOA's Multiversity Galleries.

Prabakar Visvanath is a Hindu priest based at the Sri Murugan Temple in Richmond, British Columbia. He is recognized for his distinctive ritual practice of "dressing" Hindu deities inside the temple, a puja ritual which he conducts regularly.
