January 04 20192019-01-04A large black stone Shivalinga stands in a shallow water tank with stepped tiered seating behind it, shown from a raised viewpoint. Water streams from the top of the linga and from a spout on its base, with a spray of water to the left. A metal staircase and railing lead up to the linga platform, where a small decorated shrine with a garland and a kalasha-like arch sits beside the steps. Several men stand on the steps and water's edge, bare-chested, wearing saffron and maroon dhotis and sacred threads, one standing in the water near the base. Others at the lower right are bare-chested and watching. The scene suggests an abhishekam ritual at the linga.2019-01-04A large black stone Shivalinga on a circular yoni-peetha base stands in an outdoor water tank, with water streaming down its surface and jets of water spraying from the sides.
