Night photo of a rudrabhishekam at a row of black stone shivalingams on a tiered stone platform. Several devotees sit cross-legged in a line holding small oil lamps and incense sticks toward the lingams. The man in front wears a bare upper body, white dhoti, rudraksha mala and horizontal white tilak. Behind him, others with bare chests and white cloths hold lamps, and a woman in a light saffron sari sits at left. Wisps of smoke and flame glow in the dim lamplight.
