A photograph of a shiva lingam set on a circular brass yoni-peetha base with an orange-and-white painted ring around it and a red thread wound across it, inside a brass railing. Behind it, a priest in a maroon robe and rudraksha mala sits cross-legged, reaching toward a tray of marigold flowers, with a copper pot nearby. Around them, standing and seated devotees in orange robes, shawls and jackets watch, and one holds a plastic bag. The scene is an abhishekam-style ritual at the lingam. No figure is clearly identifiable with the a person candidate cues, so the seated priest is described by role only.
