Photograph of an abhishekam at a large dark grey Shiva lingam, here a tall rounded black stone form decorated with a yellow, red and pink flower garland draped over its top. A group of saffron-robed sadhus and priests sit on a metal staircase platform beside it; the nearest figure holds a brass vessel and a small offering, while others wear orange cloth, rudraksha beads and orange turbans. Behind them is a plain stone building with wooden doors, and red-tiered steps descend beside the lingam.
