The murti stands on a dark pedestal beneath a carved stone arch framed by green trees. The water streams over the black stone, indicating abhishekam. The setting is an outdoor temple garden with a red wall visible at right.2017-07-06 +1 copiesJanuary 24 20062006-01-24November 15 20072007-11-15A young sannyasi with long matted locks and a bare upper body, wrapped in an orange-saffron cloth, pours water from a golden kalasha onto a dark black stone linga at night. Water streams down the shiny black stone. Dense dark foliage fills the background, and two more figures in orange robes stand softly out of focus behind him. The scene appears to be an abhishekam ritual. The pouring priest's face is partly turned away, and his appearance does not clearly show a person candidate.2017-11-15March 28 20202020-03-28September 29 20062006-09-29 +1 copiesA priest in an orange-red dhoti and wrap pours water from a gold vessel over a bronze statue standing within an ornate gold arched frame.
