A photograph of a man in an orange-yellow dhoti with a bare upper body, bent forward and pouring liquid from a brass vessel over a dark stone Shiva lingam set in a yellow-stained base. He wears a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, and his shaved-back hair is tied up. Behind the lingam is an ornate golden arch and a grey stone wall, with small stones and a dark oval stone placed at the base. The dim lighting suggests a shrine interior, where he appears to be performing abhishekam on the lingam.
