A large dark grey stone Shivalinga, garlanded with a band of red, yellow, orange and green marigold-type flowers, is shown beside a metal scaffold staircase. Its silver yoni-patta base with a round silver disc is visible at right. On the platform at top, a shirtless man with long matted hair, a white dhoti and a rudraksha-style necklace holds an oil lamp with flame and incense smoke rising. Behind him another man is partly visible. Below on the stairs, two people in orange dhotis sit, one with long hair, and a further figure in orange is at the left edge. Brass vessels stand on the lower steps. Clear blue sky forms the background.

November 11 20162016-11-11A photograph of a large dark black Shiva lingam with a garland of yellow and red flowers draped along its side and silver plates on its base. On a raised metal platform at upper left, a bare-chested man with long dark dreadlocks wears a rudraksha mala and beaded necklaces, a white cloth around his waist, and holds a lit oil lamp flame in his right hand over the lingam. Behind him on the staircase, several saffron-robed men sit and stand along the metal steps, one bare-chested. In the background, rows of brick steps hold many more saffron-clad people and small lamps, with trees and a pale sky above. The scene appears to be a ritual lamp offering at an outdoor shrine.2016-11-07November 27 20162016-11-27 +1 copiesNovember 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesNovember 27 20162016-11-27 +1 copiesNovember 11 20162016-11-11 +1 copiesNovember 24 20162016-11-24November 27 20162016-11-27 +1 copiesNovember 27 20162016-11-27 +1 copiesNovember 26 20162016-11-26 +1 copiesNovember 24 20162016-11-24Outdoor ritual photograph of a large dark polished stone lingam wrapped with a garland of red, yellow and white flowers.
