Outdoor abhishekam at a large grey Shiva lingam draped in garlands of orange marigolds, white jasmine and bands of red, yellow, green and purple flowers. A man in a rust-orange robe kneels at the top of the lingam, pouring liquid from a silver vessel, with a white umbrella held above him. A second man in orange with a rudraksha mala and tall hair stands on the metal scaffold behind, holding a small brass bowl, and two more men in orange cloth stand near the base. The lingam sits on a stepped red and white platform in front of a red building with tall windows and a small water tank. The lingam's silver yoni-pitha band is visible at its base with scattered petals on the ground. The lingam is a deity murti under a ritual umbrella, not a person, so no physical person is counted beyond the four clearly visible men.
