Close photo of a Rudra Abhishekam at a Shiva lingam set on a black stone yoni-pitha base. A brass lingam sits on a gold-coloured stand with a small fluted cap, and a long brass abhishekam spout pours water onto it from a hand at the upper left. Behind, a woman in a blue top and magenta-purple sari leans in, and other people with brass pouring vessels and bangles sit in soft focus. Two more black stone lingams are visible at the right. No clear person is identifiable as the a person from the frame.
