Close-up photograph of a black stone Shiva lingam on a circular yoni-shaped base during a rudra abhishekam, with water being poured from a brass vessel onto its top, running down the carved surface. Yellow flower petals are placed on the lingam's middle band. Behind it, rows of many small black lingams with golden lamps line tiered steps, and blurred seated devotees in white and yellow clothes sit among them. Only a few partially visible people appear in the foreground at the lower left and right edges.
