A large dark stone Shiva lingam with milk or water streaming down its surface during an abhishekam, decorated with a band of yellow and red marigold garlands along its edges. A silver plated yoni-peetha base with ornamental bands and a central silver disc sits at its front. Three priests stand on a metal platform behind the lingam: the centre priest, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and a saffron-orange cloth, holds a brass vessel and pours; the priest on the left wears a saffron cloth and white forehead markings and gestures with his hands; the priest on the right wears white clothing and white forehead markings and holds a small brass pot. The background is dark, indicating night.

Water streams down its polished surface, and the linga is garlanded with a band of yellow and red flowers. Silver plated bands with a central silver disc decorate its base. Three priests stand on a raised metal platform above the linga; the central one wears an orange-brown shawl and a rudraksha mala, and the two flanking priests wear white dhotis and orange wraps, all with white tripundra marks on their foreheads and arms. They pour liquid from brass vessels over the linga. A dark background and reddish wall surround the scene.2014-09-22 +1 copiesSeptember 15 20142014-09-15September 15 20142014-09-15July 07 20142014-07-07June 02 20142014-06-02September 15 20142014-09-15November 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesSeptember 22 20142014-09-22 +1 copies
