A photograph of a Shiva lingam resting in a circular yoni-shaped basin on a large brass or copper tray, with orange-red stains around its base. A man with hair swept back wears a rust-red robe with a gold-bordered shawl and a long gold-beaded necklace with rudraksha-style beads; he holds a red thread in both hands and sits at the brass railing above the lingam. Beside him, a man in orange robes with a beaded mala and a shaved-headed young person in glasses and a beige vest watch. A small copper kalasha sits on the tray, and a basket of marigolds is at right.

Behind it, a priest in a maroon robe and rudraksha mala sits cross-legged, reaching toward a tray of marigold flowers, with a copper pot nearby. Around them, standing and seated devotees in orange robes, shawls and jackets watch, and one holds a plastic bag. The scene is an abhishekam-style ritual at the lingam. No figure is clearly identifiable with the a person candidate cues, so the seated priest is described by role only.2014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22January 22 20142014-01-22
