Outdoor abhishekam at a large white stone Shivalinga on a raised base, its surface streaming with water. A shaven-headed priest in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands on a metal platform, holding a lit oil lamp in one hand. Beside him a man in white dhoti and white shirt with a red-bordered cloth bends over, pouring water from a golden kalasha. Gold pots sit on the platform, a further white-clad attendant stands at the left edge, and scaffolding and an unfinished building appear behind under a pale grey sky.
