A photograph of a black stone Shiva lingam in a temple shrine being bathed by a priest pouring water or milk from a brass vessel, with his arm and hand visible at the upper left in an orange garment. A small gold-coloured stepped yantra or Sri Chakra-style base sits in front, topped with a red flower. Behind the lingam stands an ornate gold-painted arch with floral and scroll patterns and a red cloth backdrop. The floor is dark polished stone. The setting suggests an abhishekam offering to the Shiva lingam.
