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.2016-12-18June 08 20132013-06-08A close photograph of an abhishekam at a black stone shivalinga on a stone base. 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 02 20162016-12-02December 05 20162016-12-05December 18 20162016-12-18June 04 20132013-06-04 +1 copies
