Close-up photo of a ritual abhishekam being performed. A man with white horizontal tilaka lines on his forehead pours liquid from a polished brass pot over a Shiva lingam or ritual vessel draped with yellow marigold garlands and red flowers. In the right foreground a bare-chested priest wears a long rudraksha mala with gold-toned beads and a red-orange cloth over his shoulder, his hand holding the offering. The background is soft and blurred.
