The lingam is a tall glass-like cylinder rising from a gilded base, framed by a large arch of white jasmine garlands alternating with red and yellow marigold strands, with green leaves and a gold crown-like top above. Two bare-chested or white-clad figures are partially visible at the left and right edges, one a shaved-headed man in white at the far right. No central figure is visible. The scene suggests a night puja or abhishekam at a temple.2017-05-10Outdoors under a tree and a corrugated shelter, three shirtless men in white and orange dhotis perform a ritual at a golden shrine. One man in a white dhoti and a man in an orange cloth with vibhuti on his forehead bend over and pour liquid from a vessel. A third man, bare-chested with a sacred thread and vibhuti marks, stands behind them. The golden shrine is draped with a gold cloth and wrapped in white jasmine and red rose garlands, with a clear glass cylinder holding red liquid inside. Another man in orange stands in the background. This appears to be abhishekam at a shrine.2017-05-10
