Water or milk is being poured from a golden spout held by a person in white clothing at the upper right, arcing over the lingam. Behind it a second dark lingam stands on a base, with brass pots and a deity murti in orange and red on a tray of flowers and offerings. This appears to be an abhishekam being performed. No people are clearly visible beyond the white-clad arm and hand.2016-12-18December 26 20182018-12-26A 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.2016-12-18A dark grey stone Shiva lingam on a square stone yoni base sits outdoors on a flat stone slab.
