A photograph of a temple ritual in which a person in an orange-red robe and rudraksha beads kneels before a clear crystal linga, placing a pink flower on top of it. The person has a white forehead mark and wears bangles on both wrists. Behind the linga, a deity murti is dressed in a white and gold garment and decorated with white jasmine garlands and red and pink flower strands, set on yellow silk draping. A silver vessel sits at the lower left, and the base of the linga is surrounded by white and pink flower offerings. The person appears to be a priest performing puja at the spatika linga.
