A bare-chested man in orange shorts stands under water pouring over a large black stone lingam on a tiered circular yoni-peetha base. He stands on a raised platform with hands pressed together in anjali, while streams of water fall from the lingam and from a spout on the left. Behind is a tiered stone seating terrace and a metal staircase with railings. A small potted plant sits beside the platform and a golden makara-like carving stands at the right edge. The scene suggests an abhishekam at a large outdoor Shiva lingam.2018-12-22A large black stone Shivalinga stands in a shallow water tank with stepped tiered seating behind it, shown from a raised viewpoint. Water streams from the top of the linga and from a spout on its base, with a spray of water to the left. A metal staircase and railing lead up to the linga platform, where a small decorated shrine with a garland and a kalasha-like arch sits beside the steps. Several men stand on the steps and water's edge, bare-chested, wearing saffron and maroon dhotis and sacred threads, one standing in the water near the base. Others at the lower right are bare-chested and watching. The scene suggests an abhishekam ritual at the linga.2019-01-04A large black stone Shivalinga on a circular yoni-peetha base stands in an outdoor water tank, with water streaming down its surface and jets of water spraying from the sides. Several men with bare upper bodies and dark lower garments stand on the platform and in the water near the base, some pouring water over the linga. Tiered stone seating and metal railings with a staircase rise behind, and a small gold-framed deity murti stands at the right edge. The scene is abhishekam at a Shivalinga.2019-01-04September 11 20172017-09-11Night photograph of a very large black stone Shivalinga on a circular yoni-style pedestal, standing in a shallow water-filled basin. Water streams down the lingam, which has horizontal white marks across its middle. Two priests in white dhotis stand on a metal staircase and railed platform beside it; one pours water from a vessel onto the top of the lingam. A third figure in saffron-orange robes stands at the base of the stairs with a white-clothed attendant. Tiered red-brown seating rises behind the basin under dark sky and a lit building.2011-10-11September 19 20162016-09-19October 04 20142014-10-04A large black stone Shivalinga stands on a black circular yoni-pitha base in an outdoor water pool, with a yellow and orange marigold garland draped down its front.
