A night photograph of a Rudrabhishekam rite at an outdoor tiered stone stage lined with many black stone Shivalinga on pedestals. Several young boys and girls sit among the lingas, dressed in red robes with gold sashes and white forehead bands; a girl wears a gold necklace. Each holds a gold-coloured conch or horn-shaped vessel to the lingas, and small metal bowls sit at the bases. Black cables run along the steps and a metal railing lines the top. The people are seated in rows across the stage, and the figures are in the foreground and middle distance. No identifiable a person is visible.
