Tirtha: Indreśvara (Dharmāraṇya)
Type: kshetra
Scene: In front of the liṅga, a devotee performs a formal utsarga: a blue-hued offering (symbolic of 'nīla') is released/placed with mantra; priests witness; the scene suggests solemnity and otherworldly radiance hinting at Śivaloka.
Place-based Śaiva rites and vowed offerings are presented as direct causes of purification and exalted posthumous honor.
Indreśvara/Indratīrtha within Dharmāraṇya, where the rite is performed ‘before’ the sacred presence.
