A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes pouring a thick orange liquid from a silver vessel onto a shivalinga set in a flat tray, a ritual abhishekam. He wears long dark hair, a white tripundra on his forehead, rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and gold beaded ornaments. Behind him stands a gilded carved backrest with a lion motif. A probable Swamiji is shown performing the abhishekam, identified by long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and saffron robes, while a second figure's presence is not visible. The printed copyright and source caption runs vertically along the right edge.
