A photograph of a Shiva lingam abhishekam at a temple shrine. A woman in an orange top stands at left, pouring water from a small brass vessel over a tall black lingam topped with a red flower and a small silver mukha. The lingam sits on a black stone yoni-pitha in front of a gilded arched niche with a red backdrop. In front of it stands a tiered white sculpted Nandi-style or shrine-form base decorated with a red flower, and a brass oil lamp burns near the lingam. Water streams down the black stone. The floor is dark stone with bare feet visible at the lower left edge.
