A photograph of a ritual abhishekam at a shivalinga. A bare-chested man in a rust-orange dhoti and wrap, wearing a rudraksha mala across his chest and a rudraksha headband, presses a flat disc-shaped lid onto a white-dusted lingam, with white powder spread over the stone. Behind him stand tall garlands of yellow, red, pink and green flowers around a pillar, and a saffron cloth is draped on a stand. A second person in orange is partly visible at left. The man's wrists bear gold bangles. Scene lit warmly against a wooden frame.
