A priest in an orange dhoti and bare chest, wearing a rudraksha mala and sacred ash on his arms and chest, pours water from a golden vessel over a large black stone Nandi statue draped with yellow and red marigold garlands. Water streams down the carved bull's face and chest. Behind him stand red flags and a few onlookers in pink and white clothing, with a green banana-leaf decoration nearby. The scene appears to be an abhishekam ritual at an outdoor temple setting.2016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03December 03 20162016-12-03February 21 20172017-02-21January 23 20172017-01-23Photo 11699139 +1 copiesDecember 11 20162016-12-11 +1 copiesNovember 21 20162016-11-21 +1 copiesDecember 03 20162016-12-03 +1 copiesDecember 12 20162016-12-12A photograph of an outdoor abhishekam at a large black stone Nandi statue. A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti and orange cloth wrap pours water from a brass kalasha over the Nandi, with a garland of red and orange flowers draped on the statue. Behind him, several seated devotees on red steps hold small brass vessels and lamps, some in white clothes. Red flags and a green hose run through the scene under a leafy tree. The priest is a person in ritual dress; no candidate for a person is clearly identifiable from appearance, so no identity is claimed.2016-12-15January 09 20172017-01-09
