Night abhishekam at a Shiva lingam: a figure in a rust-red wrap and rudraksha garland pours water from a vessel over a dark black lingam, water streaming down its surface. Behind, a second man with a shaved head and red-orange cloth assists, holding the lingam. Behind them stand tall multicolored flower garlands in red, yellow, orange and purple, with golden deity figures and a red-and-gold draped throne to the right. The scene is lit warmly.
