A photograph of a black stone Shivalinga being bathed with water poured from a brass vessel held by a partially visible arm at upper left. The water streams down over the lingam and its yoni-pitha base. Pink flowers rest on the base and a small offering sits at the bottom edge. Behind it is an ornate gold-toned arched frame with a red niche, set on a polished reddish floor. This shows a Shiva lingam abhishekam at a temple shrine.
