Behind the lingas, people in white garments with gold-bordered cloth sit or kneel, and a person in a white top with red and embroidered trim holds the pouring vessel. Blurred bokeh lights and a purple bird logo in the corner are visible.2017-02-26November 11 20162016-11-11A close photograph of an abhishekam at a black stone shivalinga on a stone base.
