Several young priests in saffron-orange dhotis and garments stand on the platform, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas; one pours liquid from a vessel over the lingam while another holds a kalasha-like pot. Three horizontal gold-striped bands and a central yoni-like motif decorate the lingam. An overcast sky and a small flag are visible in the background.2017-08-07
