On the left a tall black Shiva linga with a yellow-and-orange flower garland rises from a water fountain, water spraying from it. In the centre, on a raised red-and-gold platform decorated with orange and white flowers, a figure in orange robes sits on an ornate throne beneath a golden arch, with a trident displayed nearby. Some people in white stand on red stone steps at right, and a multi-storey concrete building with a flat roof stands in the background.
