A photograph of an abhishekam at a large black lingam, shown as a dome-shaped stone wrapped with a garland of yellow and red marigolds. Two bare-chested men stand on a metal platform with railings; the nearer man wears a white dhoti and a dark shawl, a rudraksha mala and armlets, and pours water from a brass vessel over the lingam. A second man beside him, with a shaved head and rudraksha mala, looks on. Brass pots and a red cloth sit on the platform, and a plain tan building and a tree stand behind.
