A photograph of a large dark grey Shiva lingam decorated with a garland of multicoloured flowers in red, yellow, white, purple and green, with a silver yoni-style base plate bearing a white ornamental band. Two priests in saffron-orange dhoti and ochre shawls stand on a metal scaffold platform with red and white flower garlands draped over its railing; the taller priest, with short hair and a gold necklace, pours liquid from a white vessel over the lingam's top. Other priests are partly visible at the platform's edge. Pale sky forms the background. The scene depicts abhishekam of the lingam.
