A man in an orange-saffron cloth draped over his bare chest and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck pours yellow liquid from a large brass kalasha onto two dark stone Nandi-style bull sculptures in a plain, dimly lit room with peeling walls and a wooden-framed window. The liquid runs down the stone figures and pools on the base. A stone pillar stands at the left and rough wooden poles rest on the floor at right.

He wears a white vertical tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, and his shaved-back hair is tied up. Behind the lingam is an ornate golden arch and a grey stone wall, with small stones and a dark oval stone placed at the base. The dim lighting suggests a shrine interior, where he appears to be performing abhishekam on the lingam.February 21 20172017-02-21July 30 20082008-07-30 +1 copiesKailasa Paramparagatha Surya Vamsa Panchanadikulam SarvajnapeethamA photograph of a priest performing abhishekam to a black stone Nandi statue.

Liquid splashes and streams down the dark stone, with green foliage blurred in the background. The ritual appears to be an abhishekam being performed at an outdoor shrine. The priest's arms and bare upper body are visible at the right edge, and a small bead ornament hangs at his shoulder. No face of the priest is visible in frame.2016-12-12
