A photograph from above of a decorated Shiva lingam set on a pink silk cloth, arranged as a floral shrine. Yellow and white chrysanthemums, marigold-style yellow flowers, a single pink bloom and blue flowers form a garland-like ring around a dark stone lingam on a copper or brass yoni base. Green leaves are placed at the top, with small clay lamps visible at the sides. No people are visible; the setting appears to be a floor with a metal tray or stand at the bottom edge.
