A dark stone Shiva lingam with a tall, ornate silver-coloured crown-like top is being bathed in milk poured from a silver vessel held by a hand entering from the upper left. Milk streams down the carved black stone. Behind the lingam are gold brocade and red-and-gold patterned fabric with a green cloth, and carved black stone guardian figures or pillars frame the sides. The lower corner shows the caption Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adi KAILASA, Navaratri 2021, Day 6 - Sri Rajarajeshwari Abhishekam & Kalasha Yatra. Only a partial arm is visible, so no full person is shown.
