A photograph of an abhishekam at a temple shrine. A young attendant in an orange saffron wrap and leopard-print blouse, with a rudraksha mala and white markings on the arm and back, pours liquid from a silver vessel over a dark stone shivalingam set on a black pedestal. Behind it stands a large gilded deity murti dressed in red and green silk with gold patterned skirts, jewelled crown and garlands of red and white flowers. Gold ornamental panels frame the shrine, and small silver puja items sit at the base.
