Close photo of an abhishekam: a silver vessel is tipped to pour thick white milk over a small stone lingam on a round pedestal. A hand with a gold ring holds the vessel and a second hand is visible at the top. The lingam and pedestal are white-grey with gold-toned details. The background is a warm brown wall. No person's face is visible, and the pouring is the main subject.2012-06-05June 05 20122012-06-05May 11 20122012-05-11May 11 20122012-05-11June 05 20122012-06-05Close photo of an abhishekam being performed on a small Shiva lingam set on a stone platform. A pair of hands, with a gold bangle on the wrist, tilts a silver vessel with a long curved handle and a patterned body, pouring milk or liquid over the lingam. Another hand rests on the platform at left, and a bare, muscular forearm and knee in orange cloth appear at right. Brass ritual objects, a silver tray and a white cloth lie nearby. Only partial human body parts are visible, so the person count is limited to what is shown.2012-06-05June 05 20122012-06-05June 05 20122012-06-05May 10 20122012-05-10June 05 20122012-06-05June 26 20122012-06-26Close photograph of a ritual abhishekam being poured over a small gold-coloured metal murti of a seated deity.
