A large black stone Shivalinga on a black yoni-peetha base stands in an open outdoor courtyard, with three gold-and-multicolour garlands draped across its front and white horizontal tripundra markings on the lingam. Behind it, a tiered red-and-black stone seating area is visible, and a metal staircase with a platform on the left holds several priests in white dhotis and a man in an orange robe at the top, who appears to be performing a ritual gesture. A partly built concrete structure rises in the background. A shallow pool of water surrounds the base. Priests are pouring or performing abhishekam-style rites on the linga.
