A bald man in an orange saffron dhoti and shawl pours the water over the lingam while holding a metal vessel, a white tilak on his forehead. Beside him a young man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange cloth sash stands watching, and an older man in white is partly visible at the left edge. Small golden pyramid-shaped sri chakra object and a small golden deity figure sit on the stone base at the front, with flower petals scattered on the wet floor. Trees are visible through the open side of the pavilion. This appears to be a pradosha puja abhishekam.2007-09-24Temple abhishekam at a shrine: two priests pour water from a silver bowl over a dark black Shivalinga on a black pedestal.
