A temple sanctum photograph shows a black Shivalinga on a golden-edged circular base set before a red and gold ornate arch, with a small golden kalasha-style vessel in front. A standing priest on the left, bare-chested with white dhoti, pours water or milk over the linga from a golden vessel, indicating abhishekam. Flower petals and a gold-bordered green-and-red floral floor pattern surround the base, and a shiny plastic or cloth backdrop hangs behind. The doorway frame is decorated with gold and red fabric. Appears to be a Shiva temple rudrabhishekam during a Maha Shivaratri observance.
