A photograph of a large black stone lingam with a multicoloured flower garland draped around its base, red, white, yellow and purple blooms with green leaves. On a metal staircase beside it, several priests in orange-red dhoti and shawls, with white tripundra marks on their foreheads and bodies, perform worship. The central priest holds a flaming lamp near the lingam while another pours from a vessel. Other priests stand with hands folded in prayer, and one kneeling man at lower left presses his palms together. Red-carpeted steps, a white railing and gravel lie behind them, with green trees in the background. Rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces are visible on several men.
