A photograph of a temple ritual in a stone-pillared shrine. A man in saffron-orange robes with a gold chain necklace and white vibhuti on his forehead and arms bends forward, pressing his hand onto a large white-coated lingam. The lingam is draped with white jasmine garlands, red roses and rudraksha malas, and a gold-framed doorway with a gold deity murti stands behind. Dressed in orange, a devotee-attendant or priest stands at the right edge. A white sculpted figure is partly visible at the lower left. The scene suggests abhishekam or padapuja with powdered offerings.
