The statue, a standing figure with raised right hand, is covered in white paste or milk and receives abhishekam at a shrine. Beside it, a seated deity murti wears a red and gold silk sari, garlands of yellow and pink flowers, gold ornaments and a crown, set against a red velvet backdrop with gold arch framing. The temple stone pillars are carved in the background.2012-04-07October 19 20082008-10-19June 22 20132013-06-22 +1 copiesA priest in a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala across his torso, stands bent forward at an altar offering a tray of red flowers beside a small flame. Behind him a large fountain-style shivalinga rises from a black stone base with water flowing over it, flanked by golden deity figures in orange and red garments. A white marble seated figure of a sage sits in the foreground and a small brass lamp burns at left. Teal drapery and gilded temple pillars frame the shrine.2011-11-10April 07 20122012-04-07October 19 20082008-10-19November 10 20112011-11-10A young man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands at a black stone lingam on a dark pedestal, pouring from a small vessel held in his right hand while his left hand touches the lingam. Behind him, golden statues of deities sit under a gilded arch with yellow drapery: a central figure in a red and gold turban and bejewelled necklaces, a female figure in magenta with black hair and a flower, and a figure with a white turban at left. A statue at right wears a tiger-striped garment with folded hands. Garlands of orange and white flowers adorn the figures. The scene appears to be a temple abhishekam, and no living person other than the young man is visible.2015-08-28November 10 20112011-11-10
