A photograph of a dark stone lingam with a tiered base, its top channel pouring a thin, flowing stream of water downward during abhishekam. The water falls in a blurred green-tinted column onto the base and a pooled surface. Behind the lingam, out of focus, a red-and-yellow striped wall and faint blurred figures are visible. No people are clearly in focus; the scene centers on the lingam and water stream.
