Close-up photo of a small brass Shiva lingam with a brass cobra hood set in a clear glass or crystal cover on a brass yoni-shaped base, placed on a dark grey stone. A thin stream of water flows from a curved brass abhishekam vessel, running over the lingam and dripping down the base onto white flower petals. Blurred yellow fabric and a hand in the background suggest a ritual abhishekam. No people are clearly visible; the lingam and vessel are the focus.
