A photograph of a large polished black stone pedestal shaped like a shallow dome on a square base, with a flat disc top marked by a small red dot. Carved spiral scrolls decorate the sides. Bare feet and white-clad legs of people stand at the top edge of the frame on sandy ground. The stone looks like a yoni-peetha style base, but no people are shown in close view and no ritual is visible.2007-08-26Close-up photograph of a large polished black stone vessel, a kalasha-like abhishekam basin with a flat circular lid, water pouring down from above onto the top and splashing over its rounded sides. Water droplets glisten on the dark stone, and sandy ground is visible at the edge. A small orange-clad arm appears at the far right edge. No person's face is visible; the scene centres on the water-anointed stone vessel during a ritual pouring.2007-10-08July 31 20172017-07-31 +1 copiesJuly 29 20132013-07-29September 07 20142014-09-07Close-up photo of a black stone Shivalinga on a dark circular yoni-pitha base, with two small gold-coloured ornaments resting on its top and scattered pink rose petals on the linga and base.

Blurred background shows a greenish area and a person in a purple garment at the right edge. No people are clearly visible in focus; the setting appears to be a ritual abhishekam or puja offering.2016-12-11 +1 copiesA close overhead photograph of a grey, weathered stone or clay vessel resting on a sandy stone surface.
