November 24 20162016-11-24A large grey stone Shiva lingam, wrapped with a garland of red, orange, yellow and white flowers, is being bathed with milk or a white liquid poured from a brass pot held by a person standing on a metal railed platform. Two figures are visible on the platform above the lingam: one pouring from the pot and one partially behind, bare-chested with rudraksha beads. Silver bands with embossed patterns encircle the lattice of the lingam base, and a small silver disc is mounted on it. A stepped metal staircase and a person in orange cloth stand at the left edge under a clear blue sky, with a red flag and trees at the right. This is an abhishekam ritual at an outdoor lingam.2016-11-27 +1 copiesOutdoor abhishekam on a tall grey Shivling decorated with a band of red, yellow and green marigold garland.
