A photograph of abhishekam at a large smooth grey stone lingam, which is wrapped in a semicircular garland of red, yellow, white and green flowers. Water pours down its surface. A figure on the left stands on a white metal railing, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long swept-back hair, a gold-beaded rudraksha-style mala and gold bangles, and pours liquid from a white conch-shaped vessel with both hands. The white background is plain. The person's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so this is a presentation-based candidate only: a person, performing the abhishekam.

A man with a shaved-head priest-like companion stands on a raised platform behind a metal railing. The central figure wears a long swept-back hairstyle, a red-brown ochre cloth over his shoulders, layered gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads, a gold armlet and bracelets, and holds a white cloth bundle over the lingam. Another priest in ochre robes and a shaved head with white tilak stands beside him, and a third attendant in ochre is partly visible at the left edge. The overcast sky forms a plain backdrop. This appears to be an abhishekam or puja offering on the lingam.2013-07-22Outdoor photo of a large grey-white lingam being bathed with milk or a white liquid poured from a pot.
