A large black polished stone Shivalinga on a black yoni-pitha base stands outdoors in front of a concrete building under construction. Three gold-coloured decorative aprons with red and green trim and gold ornaments hang on the base, and three gold horizontal tripundra bands with a central disc are fixed to the linga. A metal staircase with railings leads up to a raised platform where several men in white dhotis and shawls stand, one in saffron/orange robes with folded hands. Red and white painted steps and rows of seating surround the base. Several figures in white dhotis stand on the platform.
