A large black stone Shiva lingam on a yoni-shaped base dominates the foreground, draped with a long multicoloured flower garland in red, yellow, green, purple and white. Two men stand behind the lingam at the top: the left man in an orange shawl with folded hands in namaste, the right man bare-chested with a rudraksha-style necklace and shaved head. Behind them, a tiered red-stepped seating area holds about two dozen people dressed in white, seated in meditation or satsang, with a few in dark clothing. Red and white draped canopy and garlands frame the scene.
