A large dark black stone Shivalingam on a raised yoni-peetha base is heavily decorated with flower garlands in purple, yellow, white, red and green, with a silver band wrapped around its upper part. Its base is draped in a band of marigold and mixed-colour flower garlands. On a metal staircase at left, several people in saffron and orange robes stand and sit, and one person in a white garment sits at the top beside the lingam. A low wall and fencing lie behind, under a pale sky. The scene looks like a lingam abhishekam or decoration ceremony at an outdoor temple.
