A large dark blue cylindrical Shiva lingam stands on a black circular base, decorated with a multicoloured flower garland of marigolds in yellow, orange, purple and white draped over its top. On the metal scaffolding stairs and platform to the left, several men in saffron and orange robes with rudraksha malas stand and pour liquid and handle white vessels, one man in orange garments reaching toward the lingam. Below, rows of seated monks in saffron robes sit on tiered red brick steps, some holding small items. A white van and palm trees appear in the background under a pale sky. This is a photograph of an abhishekam ritual at a lingam.
