A photograph of a ritual at a Shiva shrine. A man with a tall black turban and a rudraksha mala, wearing gold jewellery, a red-orange sleeveless wrap and a saffron-striped cloth, leans forward and presses his hands onto a white-powdered Shivalinga on a dark stone base, applying white ash or powder. Behind him, a woman in orange robes holds a metal tray, and a man in orange stands at the left edge. To the right, a large deity murti in white and red garments is adorned with yellow, orange, purple and red marigold garlands. The scene appears to be a Mahashivaratri abhishekam-style offering.
