A photograph of an abhishekam at a temple shrine. A man with long dark hair and an orange robe, wearing a rudraksha mala, pours water from a golden pot over a black linga on a dark stone base. Behind the linga sits a golden deity murti in ornate jewellery, flanked by a gilded seated deity figure with a crown and a red-and-orange turban, all framed by a golden arch and garlands of yellow, white, red and green flowers. A second man in orange stands at the left edge, and a small golden figure stands in front of the base. Water flows from the pot onto the floor.
