Water drips from the tip of the spout onto the lingam's top, which holds a small gold pedestal-like yoni base with a bright pink flower placed beside it. The background is softly blurred, with an orange-clad figure faintly visible at left and grey temple surroundings. No people are clearly in focus, and no a person candidate is visible.2013-06-06Close-up of a dark black stone Shivalinga on a yoni-shaped pedestal, wet with water, topped with a red flower and a small silver ornament. A thin stream of water pours from a gold vessel at right, held by a person in orange saffron robes whose arm is partly visible. Ritual abhishekam in a temple setting.2013-06-10Close-up photo of a black stone Shiva lingam on a square black yoni-pitha base, decorated with flower petals in orange, red and yellow, and a small brass oil lamp with a brass ritual vessel beside it. Water or milk is being poured from a golden spout held by a person in white clothing at the upper right, arcing over the lingam. Behind it a second dark lingam stands on a base, with brass pots and a deity murti in orange and red on a tray of flowers and offerings. This appears to be an abhishekam being performed. No people are clearly visible beyond the white-clad arm and hand.2016-12-18
