Close-up of a dark grey stone shivalinga with a carved lotus-petal and geometric pattern, being bathed with water poured from a golden spout held by a person in a cream-coloured cloth. A small white flower rests on the top of the lingam, and water droplets glisten on the stone. The person's orange-red garment is visible at the right edge. No face or full figure is shown, so no one can be identified; this is an abhishekam being performed on a shivalinga.
