A silver vessel with a curved spout pours liquid over the lingam, and a thin stream of water falls from a silver kalasha-like fixture above. Beside it sits a small gold-toned deity murti and a silver-rimmed base holding a gold figure, with red-lit background. A person's hand, adorned with a thread bracelet, holds the silver vessel at left. No people's faces are visible.2014-05-20A close view of a Shivling abhishekam in a large round brass or copper basin.

Red rose petals and yellow turmeric or sandalwood paste lie on the black stone, and water flows down over the crystal. The background is blurred white cloth and a warm brown wall. No people are visible, and the scene is a temple ritual object.2016-12-23January 01 20192019-01-01 +1 copiesClose photograph of a ritual abhishekam on a silver tray.

A clear glass-like lingam stands on a brass yoni-peetha base with a brass naga hood behind it. Water pours from a curved brass spout onto the lingam, spraying droplets. An orange rose and red petals rest on a dark stone pedestal. The blurred background shows a person in a light beige garment and a red backdrop; the person is not identifiable and is not clearly a candidate for a person.2016-12-18Close photo of a small altar setup on a violet cloth: a clear crystal Shivling stands on a brass plate scattered with red rose petals and green leaves. A lit oil lamp flame burns in the foreground, with brass bowls and a brass incense holder with smoke behind. A framed picture of a robed figure sits at the right edge; the picture is not clearly legible, so it is described as a framed portrait. No people are visible.2016-08-16
