Night photograph of a large black stone Shivalingam on a tiered circular yoni-peetha base at an outdoor temple, decorated with a multicolored flower garland and white horizontal bands. Two figures in saffron-orange robes tend the lingam, one on a raised platform at the top pouring liquid from a vessel, another at the base beside brass pots and a small tray of offerings and oil lamps. Behind, a red-brick building with lit windows and flags, and in the left background a seated audience in white. Gold-framed arch and brass vessels are visible. The scene suggests an abhishekam ritual.2017-05-22May 22 20172017-05-22May 22 20172017-05-22Night view of a large black stone Shiva lingam set in a circular yoni pedestal, decorated with a yellow marigold garland around its upper curve and a silver band with a central emblem across its middle.
