A photograph of a large black lingam, a Shiva linga, garlanded with yellow and magenta flower strings and partly sprinkled with flower petals. A shirtless man with long hair, rudraksha beads and a white dhoti pours liquid from a brass vessel over the top of the linga while standing on a metal staircase platform. A second, younger man with long hair, rudraksha beads and a red tilak stands beside him holding a brass vessel. The linga has a silver yoni-style band and an open-sky background. Appearance is insufficient to establish which man, if either, is the a person candidate, so both are described by role only.
