Night outdoor scene of a large field filled with rows of black stone Shivalingams, each draped with white cloth and garlanded with yellow marigold flowers. A standing man in white dhoti and shawl, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala, stands among the lingams holding a small oil lamp, with a string of red lights strung across the dark background. Several other figures in white are seated or standing behind the lingams.

In the foreground, many black lingam-shaped stones are dressed in white cloth with red-and-gold borders and yellow-and-red flower garlands, arranged on a white floor. Behind them, a seated figure in a white turban and white cloth sits at the front, and a younger man in white dhoti with a red-striped cloth sits nearby. Oil lamps flicker on the ground to the right, and a large crowd of seated and standing people in white clothes and colourful saris fills the background. A tall white pillar stands at left and a string of small orange lights runs along the back under street lamps.2011-04-17April 17 20112011-04-17April 17 20112011-04-17April 17 20112011-04-17August 03 20092009-08-03April 17 20112011-04-17April 17 20112011-04-17April 17 20112011-04-17
