Outdoor abhishekam scene at a large black lingam draped with a multicoloured flower garland in red, yellow, purple and white. A metal staircase with railings leads up beside it to a platform where several saffron-robed monks stand. A man with long dark hair and a red and white flower garland around his neck stands near the top, smiling, with a bare upper body and a wrap, facing the lingam. Other monks in saffron and orange robes, some bald and some with bare shoulders, stand behind him along the platform, and a red flower garland is draped along the railing. Trees, a white satellite dish, a white vehicle and a red wall form the background under an overcast sky.
