A photograph of a row of women in white saris with gold borders performing abhishekam on black lingams. Each woman holds a long brass horn-shaped vessel, pouring liquid over the black stone shiva lingams with yellow flower petals and marigold-like blooms on their tops. The women sit in a line, some wearing gold bangles, and their faces are partly turned away. Behind them a red brick wall with more black lingams is visible. The scene conveys a collective ritual offering with a sense of order and devotion.
