Close-up photograph of a ritual abhishekam being performed on a black stone base holding two small brown clay lingams and a curved clay plate. A hand in the upper frame pours water from a brass kalasha-style vessel, with water dripping onto the lingams. Brass oil lamps with lit flames sit at left and right, a brass cup with green leaves and a small brass bowl are on the mat, and a conch shell rests on a brass stand at lower right. Monks in orange robes sit blurred in the background.
