A photograph of a tiered copper sri chakra-style or meru-shaped shivalinga-base object covered in white milky abhishekam liquid, with milk streaming down its sides onto a golden copper base. Yellow flower petals and leaves lie scattered around the base. Behind it are gilded and dark stone surfaces of a temple sanctum. No people are visible; the image shows a sacred object during abhishekam ritual bathing.
