A photograph inside a gilded shrine of a temple ritual. A hand in a pale sleeve pours a thin white stream of milk from a vessel onto a tall dark cylindrical Shivalingam, which is coated in white liquid running down its sides. The lingam stands on a dark stone yoni-pitha base with white residue. Behind it a red velvet niche is framed by an ornate gold arch with carved makara-like motifs, and a golden trishula stands at left. In the lower foreground a small gold-toned metal murti of a female deity in a red and gold sari stands beside the base. The scene shows abhishekam being performed.
