A hand at the top left pours water from a golden spout-like vessel over the lingam, and a golden yoni-pitha base holds a silver-toned small vessel with a red flower or cloth offering on the lingam's side. Blurred red fabric and a stone surface lie in the background, and a partial head appears at the lower left edge.2016-12-14December 18 20162016-12-18December 09 20162016-12-09A black stone shivalingam on a square yoni-pitha base is being bathed with water poured from a golden pot held by a person in white garments at upper right, with a thin stream visible. Red and orange flower petals and a red flower rest on top of the lingam, and yellow and white flower petals line the base. A small brass oil lamp with a cobra-hooded handle burns in front. Behind, a golden murti of a deity in orange and red sits near brass plates of offerings and food, and a second black lingam stands at left beside a golden vessel. This looks like an abhishekam ritual.2016-12-18December 18 20162016-12-18December 05 20162016-12-05September 25 20112011-09-25A close-up photograph of a row of black stone Shiva lingams, each topped with a bright yellow flower, while a golden vessel pours water over the nearest lingam in an abhishekam. Blurred figures in white clothing stand in the background, and a hand holding the golden pot is visible at the upper left. The shallow focus emphasises the flowing water and the flowers on the lingams.2016-01-03
