A large black stone Shiva lingam with a yoni-pitha base is bathed in a pouring stream of water, a abhishekam. The lingam is wrapped with a red and white striped band of flower garlands, and white light beams and green illumination surround it. Behind the base, a tiered stone area holds a crowd of seated devotees in the background, their figures dim and partly obscured by the water and light.
