A photograph of an outdoor abhishekam at a large grey stone lingam draped with a long garland of marigolds and multicoloured flower strands. Beside it, a man in a rust-orange cloth performs ritual with a small object, while another priest in orange robes and a red-and-orange beaded necklace stands behind him under a striped white and multicoloured canopy. A white cloth hangs over the shoulder of the central figure. The lingam sits on red-brick steps, with smaller lingams near the base, and a red building, black water tanks, chain-link fencing and turquoise tarpaulin behind. Two men are visible, and the central one is not confidently identified by appearance.
