A dark grey stone Shiva lingam on a square stone yoni base sits outdoors on a flat stone slab. Yellow turmeric or kumkum powder is dabbed on top of the lingam and on the base, and a white bead garland is wrapped around its middle. A small magenta flower sits at the bottom edge and a yellow thread lies at the left. The background is blurred with dry brown earth and green foliage. No people are visible.2014-08-24July 10 20082008-07-10December 15 20092009-12-15February 05 20072007-02-05July 10 20082008-07-10December 26 20182018-12-26A grey stone Shiva lingam stands on a square granite pedestal with a yoni-shaped base, set on a flat stone slab outdoors. A small stone animal figure, possibly a nandi or bull, sits in the foreground at the lower left. The background is blurred with brown earth, scattered stones and green foliage. No people are visible.2014-08-15December 15 20092009-12-15December 15 20092009-12-15A black stone shivalingam on a square yoni-pitha base is being bathed with water poured from a golden pot held by a person in white garments at upper right, with a thin stream visible. 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.2016-12-18July 10 20082008-07-10September 26 20112011-09-26
