A large black Shiva lingam with a silver tripundra marking and a band of red, yellow, green, blue and white flower garlands arching over its top stands on a dark plinth. On a metal staircase platform beside it, a row of saffron-robed men with shaved heads stand with hands pressed in anjali. The man at the top right wears red-and-white garlands, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and smiles while pressing his palms together, appearing to be a person standing among the devotees. Pale sky fills the background.
