Close-up photograph of a black stone lingam being bathed in abhishekam. A thin golden stream of liquid pours from a metal vessel onto the top of the dark stone, with a clear glistening drop hanging at the tip and a few yellow flower petals resting on the lingam's crown. Only a hand and forearm of the officiant are visible at the right edge, wearing a bangle, against a blurred background of pink and magenta cloth. The stone's tiered base shows dark polished surfaces with light streaks.
