Close-up photo of a rudrabhishekam-style abhishekam on a dark black stone lingam. A gold-coloured spout shaped like a cow or bull head pours liquid in a thin stream that drips from its tip onto the top of the stone. A white flower with clustered petals sits on the left of the lingam's top, and a clear glassy stone or crystal-like object rests beside it. Water droplets and wet residue glisten across the dark surface. The background is blurred warm gold and brown tones. No people are visible.
