A close-up photograph of an abhishekam being performed on a dark black stone lingam. A golden spout or vessel pours a thin stream of water over the top of the lingam, which is decorated with a single white flower. Behind it, a blurred figure in a black sleeve with colourful beaded bracelets tends the ritual, and red seating or platforms and white cloth are visible in the background. No face of any person is clearly visible, so no identity is asserted.
