Close-up of a ritual abhishekam on a small Shivalinga set on a grey stone base with a stone yoni-type pedestal. A hand in a white ceramic pouring vessel pours water over the linga, which sits on a purple and striped cloth dusted with yellow turmeric powder. Fresh green leafy herbs and stems lie in a red-brown tray in the foreground, with a small brass bowl nearby. A person wearing a red garment and a rudraksha mala is visible only at the left edge, seen from the hand and wrist.
