Outdoors under a pale overcast sky, a large black-and-white egg-shaped Shiva linga stands on the right, its upper dome draped with yellow marigold garlands. On a metal railed platform beside it, a man in an orange-saffron robe with a shaved head pours liquid from a small vessel over the linga, as part of an abhishekam. Beside him, a man in white dhoti and shawl with a red border holds a brass or kalasha-type pot and a bowl, and a third white-clad man stands at the rail. Two more white-clad men stand at the lower left, one wearing a gold-coloured necklace, and one with his head turned.
