A large dark cylindrical Shiva lingam stands on a black base, wrapped in an arch of marigold-style flower garlands in red, yellow, white, purple and green, with silver bands and a silver disc marking its face. Two men in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand on a metal railed platform at left, one bald with white marks on his forehead and arms, the other with long dark hair, a flower garland and a silver vessel in hand, apparently pouring or offering over the lingam. Red buildings and a pale sky form the background. Two physical people are visible; the identity of the man with long hair is not established by appearance alone.

A photograph of a large dark black Shivalingam decorated with a multicoloured floral garland in red, yellow, purple, white and green, and silver bands with a central silver disc. On a metal railed platform at left, three men in saffron-orange robes stand; the foremost, with long dark hair and a white marking on the forehead, pours white liquid from a vessel over the lingam, while the men behind wear garlands and white tripundra markings. Red buildings and a grey sky form the background. This appears to depict an abhishekam ritual. Individual identities are not established from appearance, and no name is printed in the scene.2013-06-17June 17 20132013-06-17June 17 20132013-06-17A large black Shiva lingam with a silver tripundra band and a crystal bead at its centre stands on a dark black yoni-pitha base, decorated with a multicoloured flower garland arching over its top.
