A large dark grey Shivalingam with a silver-banded yoni base is drenched in flowing liquid during a Rudrabhishekam, with a thick garland of red, white, yellow and purple flowers draped down its side. On a metal staircase platform beside it, a man with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange cloth, gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, stands smiling, while several shaved-headed priests in saffron-orange robes stand nearby, one holding a small metal vessel. Orange, yellow and purple marigold garlands hang on the staircase railings. Scattered on the platform are brass pots and offerings in a temple setting.
