Outdoor photograph of a large grey-white linga being bathed in milk or liquid that streams down its surface, part of a linga abhishekam. A man in an orange saffron robe stands on a raised metal staircase platform at the right, holding a white bowl or vessel and pouring its contents over the top of the linga. To the left, a second man in white dhoti and shawl stands on the same platform beside brass kalasha pots, gesturing toward the linga. The linga sits on a black base decorated with a gold and silver embellished yoni-pitha band with pink and green trim. Behind them are unfinished concrete buildings with exposed rebar and bamboo scaffolding under a pale sky.
