Night photograph of a large dark polished Shivalinga with a white flower garland draped around its arched top and a silver band with a central round emblem on its front. Three men stand on a metal scaffold platform at the top of the linga performing abhishekam. The man at centre wears a saffron-red robe with a rudraksha-style necklace; the man at left wears a red-brown garment and holds a golden vessel; the man at right wears a white cloth over his shoulder. A brick building with windows forms the background against a dark sky. The page links this to Rudra-abhishekam and padapuja, but the platform rites are visible only as men pouring at the linga. a person candidate is not clearly visible.
