A photograph of a dark stone Shiva lingam, dressed for worship. A brass kalasha pot hangs above it on chains, and red and pink rose garlands, green leaf garlands and white jasmine strings drape around it. Rudraksha mala beads hang down the front, with an orange cloth wrapped around the base. Behind it, a blue silk garment with gold stripes and jeweled ornaments are visible, so the lingam sits within a decorated deity setting. No people are visible; this is a deity murti being decorated for abhishekam-style worship.
