Red flags on tall poles line the terraces and railings. Hundreds of seated attendees fill the upper tiers in casual and bright clothing. A still water channel at the front reflects the steps, flags and blue sky. The venue is an open-air ceremonial amphitheatre with no clearly identifiable person at the front of the crowd.

A photograph of a red brick stepped terrace lined with rows of black stone shivalingas, with many small pedestals. Numerous devotees climb and move along the steps, many in saffron-orange garments, others in white dhotis and sarees, and one in a red and gold sari. Some attend the lingas and carry small vessels or offerings. Tall white flagpoles with red flags stand along a chain-link fence, with green trees behind. A red flag is in the foreground. The scene suggests a ritual abhishekam or puja at the shivalingas, with devotees in traditional attire. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person.
