A photograph of a black stone Shiva lingam in a temple shrine being bathed by a priest pouring water or milk from a brass vessel, with his arm and hand visible at the upper left in an orange garment. A small gold-coloured stepped yantra or Sri Chakra-style base sits in front, topped with a red flower. Behind the lingam stands an ornate gold-painted arch with floral and scroll patterns and a red cloth backdrop. The floor is dark polished stone. The setting suggests an abhishekam offering to the Shiva lingam.

A woman in a maroon and gold sari stands at the left edge, holding a small brass oil lamp with a lit flame over a black polished Shivalinga with a red flower on top and a red tilak mark on its front. Behind it is a gold-ornate arched frame with a pale stone wall. In the foreground a copper-coloured stepped sri yantra on a brass base is also topped with a red flower. A brass plate with offerings sits to the left. Setting appears to be a small shrine interior with a dark floor.
