Blurred figures in the background include a person in white dhoti with bare upper body and others in blue, red and patterned saris, apparently seated in a puja or abhishekam setting. No clearly visible faces of a person are identifiable; the scene suggests Shiva lingam worship.2016-12-11 +1 copiesBlack stone Shivalingams on round gold-edged peethas are being bathed with water poured from a golden vessel held by a priest at the top left. Water droplets spray off the central lingam, and small oil lamps and yellow and red flower petals rest around the bases. Behind, seated figures in white dhotis and bare-shouldered ritual attire perform the abhishekam. A red cloth edges the right side. Setting appears to be a temple sanctum during an early-morning ritual.2016-12-12January 03 20162016-01-03 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a row of black stone Shiva lingams on a red-brick platform, each with a gold-coloured base tray. Pink and white flower petals are scattered over the lingams. Golden kalasha vessels are tilted above them, pouring water down over the stones in an abhishekam. Several people in plain white clothes kneel along the row; only forearms, bare feet and white-clad legs are visible, so the people are partly cropped. Bags and white cloth sit on the left.2016-12-02December 05 20162016-12-05August 11 20142014-08-11July 31 20172017-07-31 +1 copiesDecember 05 20162016-12-05November 14 20162016-11-14 +2 copiesAugust 14 20172017-08-14
