Outdoor photo of a large dark black stone linga draped with a garland of yellow, white, pink and purple flowers, with flower petals scattered on top. On a red-carpeted platform beside it, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a beaded necklace stands at left with hands folded, while a man in an orange-saffron robe and white dhoti with a necklace extends his hand over the linga in an offering gesture, and a third man in white dhoti stands behind him holding flowers. A grey concrete block building with windows forms the background. The orange-robed figure shows long swept-back hair and ornate necklaces, a person candidate, but appearance is uncertain.
