Photograph of a temple abhishekam at a KAILASA temple shrine. In the foreground a priest with bare upper body, wearing a white dhoti with a gold border and face mask, stands with his back to the camera, hands on a Shiva lingam draped in green and pink cloth and heavy garlands of white jasmine, yellow marigold and red flowers. Behind the lingam stand golden deity murtis with gilded crowns and pink saree, one holding a trident, framed by an ornate gold arch and red drapes. At right a golden murti in a rust-brown turban and garlands stands beside a small blue-clad figure. Brass oil lamps and a lit lamp sit at the base; a second person's head is visible at lower left.
