ADIKAILASA on 2/12/20222022-02-12A priest in orange ochre robes and a bare upper body pours liquid from a vessel over a dark stone lingam on a black yoni-shaped base during an abhishekam at a richly gilded temple shrine. Behind him stand golden deity murtis: a central figure wearing a red and gold turban and a jewelled necklace, flanked by a figure holding a trident-like staff and a dark-haired figure with a golden ornate necklace on the left. Tall brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a small golden murti sits on a pedestal at the bottom edge. The ornate arches are decorated with mirror work and gold leaf. The scene is warmly lit, and the caption reads Sayaraksha Kala Abhishekam.2022-02-12ADIKAILASA on 2/12/20222022-02-12ADIKAILASA on 2/12/20222022-02-12ADIKAILASA on 2/15/20222022-02-15ADIKAILASA on 2/12/20222022-02-12ADIKAILASA on 3/10/20222022-03-10ADIKAILASA on 3/10/20222022-03-10ADIKAILASA on 3/11/20222022-03-11ADIKAILASA on 2/12/20222022-02-12ADIKAILASA on 2/15/20222022-02-15ADIKAILASA on 2/12/20222022-02-12
