A photograph of a ritual abhishekam in a temple room. A bare arm, wearing a thin bangle, pours water from a copper pot onto a gold-coloured metal shivalingam on a brass square base. The base sits on a stone platform. Behind it, a deity murti in blue and gold garments wears a white garland and gold ornaments, and a garland of dark rudraksha beads hangs at the upper left beside a gold jewelled collar in front of a white cloth with an orange-and-gold border. A copper vessel and a bowl stand on a blue cloth at right, and a red patterned rug lies on the floor. The walls are yellow with red curtains and a hanging decorated banner.2024-12-10November 22 2022 sripuram2022-11-22December 31 2021 sripuram2021-12-31Jan 2 2022 sripuram2022-01-02Close photo of a gold-plated Shiva lingam on a brass tray, its tiered, ridged surface shining, with pink rose petals scattered at its base.
