Several monks in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces stand on a metal staircase behind the lingam, one pouring liquid during the abhishekam. Red stepped terraces with rows of small clay lamps and a red building appear in the background under a pale sky.2013-06-06November 22 20162016-11-22Photo 11724317A large black stone Shivling stands in shallow water on a raised red-stepped platform, draped with a multicoloured marigold garland in red, yellow, white, purple and green. Several saffron-robed priests stand on a metal scaffold staircase beside it, one bare-chested with a rudraksha mala, another in a saffron dhoti holding a conch or vessel and pouring over the Shivling; they appear to be performing abhishekam. Green trees and an overcast sky sit behind, with more figures visible at the far edge of the platform.2013-06-03September 11 20172017-09-11September 18 20172017-09-18November 04 20132013-11-04A large black stone Shivalinga on a black yoni-peetha base is being bathed with milk-like liquid that streams down its grey-white surface. A red-and-white garland with green leaves drapes over the top of the linga. Several priests in orange-red robes with rudraksha malas stand on a metal scaffold platform at left, one holding a white vessel, while a row of orange-robed priests tends shivalingas on red brick steps in the background. A tree and a sky fill the upper background.2013-06-10
