A large dark stone lingam, a Shiva linga, is the central subject, rising under a silver-plated yoni-base and a crown of floral garlands in yellow, orange, red, green and white. A thick arch of marigold and mixed flower garlands frames the lingam, with a red kumkum mark and streaks of turmeric or water running down its surface. Behind it stands a partly visible dark deity murti in an ornate gold-edged arch, and an unfinished steel-framed building with orange walls forms the backdrop. No people are visible.
