A row of dark stone Shivalinga murtis stands on circular grey basins at a stepped riverside or temple platform with red-painted walls behind. Several pairs of hands hold long golden abhishekam vessels, pouring water in a steady stream over the lingas. Pink flowers float in the basins, and a few white-clad devotees are visible at the right edge.

A person in white clothing with a gold trim, wearing a red sacred thread and silver bangles, pours water from a golden spouted vessel over a lingam, with the stream visible. The background shows more lingams and red cloth. No face of a person is visible, so no a person identification is made.2016-10-31December 18 20162016-12-18A row of participants pours water from long brass vessels over a line of black stone Shiva lingams on a stone platform, as part of a Rudra Abhishekam. Several women in white and coloured garments, one in a navy jacket, hold the brass pourers over the lingams, some marked with red flower petals and a yellow flower offering. Other devotees sit in the background on the left and centre. The arrangement suggests an abhishekam ritual with many participants pouring simultaneously.2016-12-17 +1 copies
