Devotees perform abhishekam on a row of black stone Shiva lingams on a tiered platform. Several people sit close together, pouring water or milk from long golden vessels onto the lingams. In the foreground, a woman in a pink patterned top and white dupatta with a red bangle pours from a golden pot, while a man in a grey checked shirt and others in the row continue the offering. The lingams are wet and gleaming, and small brass lamps and kalashas line the stepped red-painted background.
