A photograph of a temple abhishekam at a stone shivalinga-style base. A bare-chested man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange-saffron dhoti pours water from a brass pot onto the stone basin, which spills in a bright stream. Beside him, a deity murti stands in a green and gold garment, with golden ornaments and a gold staff or pillar. Stone carvings and a plain grey wall frame the scene, and the wet stone floor reflects the light.

A man in a saffron-orange wrap with a white vibhuti marking on his forehead and upper arm pours water from a shiny brass kalasha over the linga, which sprays in arcs. Behind him, another man in orange with a gold-beaded mala watches. A white statue is partly visible at the lower left. The water and orange cloth dominate the scene.2009-12-16Two men in saffron-orange robes pour water from a brass pot over a tall stone shivalinga set on a grey stone yoni-pitha basin, as water streams down the stone. The man in front, with short hair and a tilak, holds the pot high with one arm; the man behind, with longer dark hair and a bracelet, steadies the pot with his other hand. Behind them stand other devotees in orange robes, one holding a brass vessel, under a stone pavilion roof with scaffolding visible. This appears to be a Shiva abhishekam ritual at a temple.2007-02-23February 23 20072007-02-23November 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesFebruary 23 20072007-02-23Outdoors at a stone temple structure, a man with long, curly dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead pours water from a golden pot over a large dark stone lingam set in a carved stone basin.
