A large black stone Shivalinga with a yoni-pitha base stands on a raised platform in a green-tinted pool. Several priests in saffron-orange robes stand at the platform and on its steps, with a garland on the linga. Thousands of seated devotees fill tiered stone steps and grandstand seating around the water, many in white. Red flags line the walls and steps, and a large screen sits behind the crowd. A cameraman in the foreground and a man standing waist-deep in the water are visible. The scene suggests an abhishekam at the linga.2016-10-16July 31 20152015-07-31March 07 20162016-03-07
