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.2013-06-17A photograph of a large dark blue-grey Shiva lingam being bathed with liquid, a stream of milk or water pouring down its surface. A garland of marigolds in yellow, orange, red, white and purple wraps the top and right side of the lingam. A silver yoni-pattern plate is set into its base. Behind it, a priest in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala and sandalwood-marked forehead, pours a vessel over the top of the lingam from a raised metal platform, while another orange-clad priest stands beside him and a third is partly visible at the left edge, hands folded. Red brick steps and a tree are in the background.2013-10-28January 13 20152015-01-13June 17 20132013-06-17February 27 20142014-02-27February 27 20142014-02-27June 17 20132013-06-17February 27 20142014-02-27
