A photo collage of an outdoor abhishekam ritual at a large black cylindrical lingam on a raised platform, surrounded by seated white-clad devotees. In the main image, a person in saffron/orange robes stands on a metal staircase holding a lit lamp, with a second saffron-robed attendant and a bald saffron-robed priest behind on the stairs. The top of the black lingam is covered with pink and white flower petals. The inset shows a saffron-robed figure with long dark hair pouring liquid over the lingam from above. Concrete stands with red seats fill the foreground.

A priest in white dhoti and shawl stands on a rusted metal scaffold platform, pouring yellow marigold flowers from both hands onto the top of the lingam. Scattered petals fall around it. A second person in an orange-saffron robe stands on the lower steps of the scaffold, partly visible at the left edge. Grey overcast sky and green trees form the background. The scene suggests abhishekam-style floral offering at a Shiva lingam.2010-09-23October 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesDecember 30 20132013-12-30 +1 copiesA large black lingam stands at left, its top decorated with pink flower petals and a garland. On a raised metal scaffold platform, a woman in an orange saffron sari, with long dark hair, holds a lit oil lamp aarti toward the lingam while another person in orange robes stands beside her, and a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala assists. Behind them, a crowd of devotees in white clothes stands and watches, with red tiered seating and green trees in the background, under an overcast sky.
