Outdoor photo of a large black lingam being bathed in an abhishekam at a ceremony. A man in a central position wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a red and gold-beaded garland, and gold necklaces, and pours liquid from a white vessel onto the lingam. Beside him stand two shaved-headed priests in orange-red robes with white forehead markings, one holding a rudraksha mala. A garland of marigolds and roses in yellow, purple, red, white and green drapes over the lingam. Behind is a white railing and a red-brick platform with greenery. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure in orange with long hair, ornate gold jewellery and beaded garland, identified only by these visible cues.
