Photograph of a temple abhishekam at a shrine decorated with marigold and multicolour flower garlands. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes pours water from a golden kalasha over a black Shivalinga. Behind him stand gilded deity murtis of Shiva and Parvati, the Shiva figure wearing a red turban, a red tilak and jewelled necklaces, the Parvati figure in a red sari with a jewelled crown. A second person in orange robes and rudraksha beads stands at the left edge, partly visible. A small white marble seated figure and a gold pot stand on the altar base. The man pouring water is a probable match for a person, based on his long hair and saffron robes, though his face is partly turned away. Water flows over the linga onto the stone base.

A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-bead mala pours water from a brass pot over a black Shivalinga during an abhishekam before a decorated shrine. Behind the linga, golden deity murtis wear red-and-gold garments, crowns and ornaments, framed by garlands of yellow, orange and white flowers. A second attendant in orange robes and a gold chain stands at left holding a brass pot. Small brass items, a sri yantra-shaped object and a white figure sit on the altar base. The figure's appearance includes long swept hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala, but the page does not establish identity from appearance, so the presence is treated as an unsure candidate.2010-02-122010 - Photo Album +1 copiesFebruary 17 20152015-02-17 +1 copiesA long-haired figure in a flowing saffron-orange robe pours water from a brass vessel over a black Shiva linga in a temple shrine, as part of an abhishekam.
