Night abhishekam at a large black lingam with a silver yoni-style base set within an arch of garlands in red, yellow, green and white flowers. Water sprays over the lingam from above. Two men in orange and saffron robes stand on a raised metal platform at left; the taller one raises one hand while holding a small metal kalasha, and the other gestures beside him. Behind them, rows of warm lamps glow against a dark building. A flower garland border lines the base.
