Close photo of a tall, rough-textured golden Shivalinga on a dark pedestal, glistening with liquid poured over it during abhishekam. A bare hand wearing gold bangles rests on top of the linga. Behind it, marigold garlands, a white cloth and a pink sequined fabric fill the background, with a gold vessel visible at left. No people's faces are shown; the scene is a ritual bathing of the linga.
