Men perform Rudra Abhishekam at night on tiered red-painted steps lined with many black stone Shivalingams on round yoni-style pedestals. Several bare-chested men in white dhotis with gold borders pour liquid from golden vessels and tall golden cones onto the lingams, while brass bowls and small oil lamps sit among them. Some participants are seated, and a few are partially visible at the edges of the frame. A purple-tinted light glows at the upper left. No person is clearly identifiable as a person in this image.
