A photograph of a temple abhishekam in progress on a dark black shivalinga draped in garlands of red roses, yellow roses, white jasmine and green leaves. A person's two hands, one wearing a thin silver bangle, pour water from a metal vessel with a wire mesh top over the linga. Behind it stands a gilded silver arch, and a red and blue silk cloth with gold border hangs at right. No face is visible, so no one is identifiable as a person.2020-03-16March 16 20202020-03-16Photo 11728726 +2 copiesMarch 16 20202020-03-16 +2 copiesClose photograph of a ritual abhishekam being performed on a deity murti heavily decorated with garlands.
