Close-up of a rudra abhishekam in progress: two gold-coloured metal vessels with long spouts pour liquid over a row of dark black stone shivalingams. One lingam in the foreground has red and orange flower or kumkum offerings on its top, and a thin stream of liquid falls from the spout onto it. Only hands are visible holding the vessels, with the blurred row of lingams stretching into the background. No faces are shown.
