A photograph of a Shiva lingam being bathed with water during abhishekam. A person in orange clothing pours water from a woven basket-like vessel over a tall grey stone lingam set on a dark black pitham base. Behind the lingam is a golden deity murti with garlands of white, red and green flowers and a golden necklace, and a small standing figure in blue with gold ornaments stands to the right. Only the pouring person's arms and orange robe are visible at the left edge; no face is shown, and the scene has no visible a person appearance.
