A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at an outdoor shrine. A bare-chested priest with long hair tied up and a rudraksha-style mala stands on a raised metal platform, holding a brass lamp in one hand and a small bell in the other, with smoke rising above. Beside him, two more bare-chested men in orange dhotis sit on the platform. A large dark stone lingam is draped with a garland of purple, yellow, red, white and green flowers. Trees and a clear pale sky form the background.
