A shaved-headed priest in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, wearing a gold-beaded necklace and a bangle, pours water from a brass pot over a white marble figure seated at the base of a dark black Shivalinga on a stone yoni-peetha. Behind the lingam, a deity murti is dressed in a teal-green silk cloth with pink and gold borders, a gold crown, and a gold staff, with marigold and orange flower garlands hanging around it. A small golden deity figure stands in the foreground, a yellow flower rests on the lingam, and a gold ornamental arch frames the left side.2011-03-03 +1 copiesSeptember 19 20112011-09-19September 21 20172017-09-21October 06 20112011-10-06October 06 20112011-10-06A shaven-headed priest in an orange-red dhoti and wrap with a gold border stands at a black stone shivalinga on a dark pedestal, pouring milk or water over it from a large brass vessel held in both hands. White liquid streams down the lingam. Behind him are gold-framed deity figures, garlands of yellow and purple flowers, and red blossoms. On the left stands a gilded statue of a standing figure with raised hand, and at lower right a white marble statue of a figure in a turban. This appears to be abhishekam at a temple shrine. The visible people are the single priest.2011-03-03
