A large outdoor photograph of a rectangular stepped pool with a giant black Shivalinga rising from a platform in the centre of the water. Rows of smaller black Shivalinga stones line the stone steps on the near side, and dozens of people in red clothing sit before them. Many wear red and orange garments, some holding small brass vessels or offerings, and several raise hands in prayer. Red-cushioned tiered seating and orange-clad figures walk along a staircase on the left toward the central linga. The site appears to be a ritual abhishekam-style gathering of devotees.

Dozens of women in red saris sit on rows of black Shivalingam-shaped seating blocks along the steps, many with hands raised or holding small items, while others in white stand along the upper walkways and rail.2013-11-18November 18 20132013-11-18Photo 11735809A large black stone Shivalingam stands on a square red-and-cream base in the middle of a flooded amphitheatre-style pool, its reflection shimmering in the still water. A garland of multicoloured flowers is draped over the top of the lingam. Rows of empty red-tiered stone seating surround the water, and a red multi-storey building stands behind. Several saffron-robed monks stand on the stepped walkway and railings at the left and upper left, with a figure in white at the top. The scene reads as a sacred Shiva lingam abhishekam-style setting rather than a specific ritual. No readable a person candidate is clearly visible.2013-11-18Aerial view of a large rectangular stepped tank at an ashram, filled with turquoise water and surrounded by red-tiered seating. A central raised platform holds a tall black Shivling draped in marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Along the tiered steps, rows of black Shivling lingams sit on pedestals while people in red and maroon robes perform worship, some pouring liquid over the lingams with vessels. On the upper-left terraces, many people in white clothing sit in rows facing the stage, and a cameraman stands at the left edge of the tank. Red brick buildings and trees frame the scene. A garlanded Shivling is the focal point of this ritual abhishekam setting.2013-07-22July 22 20132013-07-22July 15 20112011-07-15July 22 20132013-07-22June 03 20132013-06-03 +1 copiesJune 10 20132013-06-10 +1 copies
