Outdoors at a construction site, a shaved-headed man in an orange-saffron robe and gold necklace stands on a metal scaffold platform and pours liquid from a gold vessel over a tall, dark grey polished Shivalinga. White milky liquid streams down the linga's surface onto the carved silver-banded base. Behind him, rebar, scaffolding and unfinished concrete structures rise under a pale sky. Brass pots sit on the platform beside him. This is a linga abhishekam being performed on the linga.

On a metal scaffold platform to the left, a shaved-headed priest in an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha-style bead necklace stands with hands joined in namaste. A second man in white dhoti clothing stands at the platform edge beside brass pots and a metal vessel. Behind them are concrete construction scaffolding and bare rods under a pale overcast sky. The priest's appearance does not clearly match a person candidate, so he is described by role only.2010-10-22 +1 copiesOctober 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a large smooth grey-white linga being bathed with water during an abhishekam.
