Outdoor abhishekam at a large green-painted Shivalinga on a black stone yoni-pitha base, with gold-and-white tripundra bands and three gold-and-jewelled decorative panels with red-green-yellow garland borders hung on its base. A man in an orange robe stands on a metal scaffold stairway at the top of the linga, pouring liquid or offering over it, while two men in white dhoti and shawl stand on the stairs below, one holding a brass vessel. Water runs down the linga and out of the pitha. Behind is a partly built concrete building, a red-and-white striped plinth and a red stepped area with small linga motifs. A faint purple bird logo sits in the upper left sky.
