Behind him, a large deity murti is decorated with rich red and gold ornaments, white and pink garlands, and a gold-and-white dhoti-style garment. In front, a clear crystal spatika linga sits on a yellow cloth surrounded by white jasmine and red flowers, while a lit oil lamp stands at right. The figure's hands are held over the linga in an offering gesture, consistent with abhishekam. The figure's distinctive hair and orange ornamented attire are visible cues, and the page identifies this event as Rudrabishekam at a temple, so the figure is.2014-06-30March 22 20082008-03-22A photograph of a shrine with a devotee in orange robes standing at left with palms pressed together in namaskar, head slightly bowed.
