A large black stone Shivling stands on a black yoni-peetha base decorated with garlands of yellow, orange and white flowers and a gold-toned yoni-shaped ornament at its front. Water sprays over the lingam from above, and a silver-plated front panel with a central silver flower is fixed to its face. The Shivling sits in an open-air outdoor setting with white and red tiered steps around it. On the steps, several people in white and cream clothes sit and stand, some wearing white dhotis, with a few bare-chested figures to the right. A red-and-white building and green trees appear behind a blue fenced barrier under a cloudy sky.
