A large field of many identical black stone Shivalingams, each wrapped in white cloth with orange-red borders at their bases, arranged in neat rows on a paved ground. Cloth-covered peetha bases support the lingams. No people are clearly visible in the foreground, and the scene shows a mass ritual arrangement of deity murti for a Shiva worship event.2008-05-19December 27 20132013-12-27December 27 20162016-12-27December 08 20112011-12-08December 20 20112011-12-20May 29 20172017-05-29December 27 20132013-12-27May 05 20152015-05-05December 27 20132013-12-27February 27 20142014-02-27July 17 20172017-07-17 +1 copiesA photograph of a large red-stepped amphitheatre-style platform beside a water tank, filled with rows of devotees performing Rudra Abhishekam. Dozens of men sit bare-chested or in white dhotis, many with shaved heads, before rows of black stone shivalingas with brass and copper kalashas. Several women in white saris sit among them. Red and orange flags with fencing line the steps, a tree stands at upper right, and a cameraman in orange clothing films at lower right. One figure at upper left wears a white garment and a distinctive light crown-like headdress, but the appearance is too uncertain to identify anyone.2017-05-29
