Close photograph of an abhishekam in progress: a dark stone Shivalinga is being bathed by a stream of golden-yellow liquid poured from above by a person's hand, with splashes spraying outward. Warm amber and red lighting and blurred draped fabric fill the background. No people's faces are visible, only a forearm and hand with a bangle at the top edge. The ritual appears to be a Maha Shivaratri night puja.
