Close view of a black stone Shivalingam on a black yoni-pitha base, its top anointed with yellow turmeric or kumkum paste, with brass rods on either side. Behind it, a seated figure in red and pink silk with a lilac lower garment and bangles is partly visible, and a standing figure in green-and-gold tiger-striped garment with a flower garland is at the right edge. Small brass figures stand at the base, including a standing sage-like figure at left, a small brass pyramid-shaped vessel in the centre, and a deity figure in a maroon cloth at right, with pink flower petals scattered on the floor. A gold-brocade cloth is folded at lower right. Printed copyright text overlays the image.2017-09-05September 05 20172017-09-05Close photograph of a deity murti seated on a dark stone base, with a dark stone shivalinga rising in front of its legs.

The image is rotated sideways. A shaved-headed figure in saffron-orange robes with an orange shawl and a gold-beaded necklace stands at the top, holding a green coconut above a dark stone lingam that is being bathed with water poured from a golden pot. Two gilded deity murti figures stand beside the lingam, one with a crown and trident-like staff, both draped in red, green and orange garlands. The floor is covered with flower petals and a patterned rangoli of marigold yellow, red, purple and white. A second person in orange robes appears at the very top edge, partly cut off. Ornate gold-framed carvings are visible on the right. a person cannot be assigned from appearance here, so the candidate is a shaved-headed priest in saffron robes performing the abhishekam.2013-03-10August 25 20172017-08-25 +1 copiesAugust 25 20172017-08-25 +1 copies
