Ritual abhishekam at a temple shrine. Two priests in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls, with white tilak marks on their foreheads and arms, bend over a golden Shiva lingam decorated with garlands of red, yellow, green and purple flowers. One priest holds a silver plate of offerings while pouring. Behind them stand golden deity murtis of Shiva and a consort, both wearing crowns and jewelled garlands and draped in floral strands. Brass oil lamps and a white flower sit at the base of the lingam, with a golden canopy and a carved stone arch framing the scene. Figures are foreground devotees performing puja.2013-03-10December 22 20182018-12-22 +2 copiesDecember 19 20162016-12-19January 01 20092009-01-01A temple shrine decorated with multicoloured flower garlands draped over gilded deity figures and a large ornate gold arch.
