The background shows more lingams and red cloth. No face of a person is visible, so no a person identification is made.2016-10-31Close-up photograph of a row of black stone Shiva lingams on round yoni pedestals, with carved horizontal bands. A golden spouted vessel held by a hand at the upper left pours water over the nearest lingam, whose top holds scattered pink flower petals and a small clear crystal or ball.
