The figure has long, loose black hair and a white ash mark on the forehead, and raises one hand toward the wall. A copper pot with a spout hangs on a chain above the lingam, dripping water, and marigold and flower petals lie on the lingam and in the basin. A broom leans in the corner at right. The person is a sannyasi performing abhishekam; the figure's appearance shows long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, a person candidate, but the face is partly turned away, so identity is uncertain.2006-01-04Jun 20 2022 sripuram2022-06-20
