A large black Shivalinga stands in the foreground, decorated with a horseshoe-shaped garland of red, yellow, green, purple and white flowers and three silver horizontal bands with a white marking. A man on a raised metal platform at the left wears an orange-saffron dhoti and upper cloth, a red-and-white flower garland, a bracelet on his upper arm, and holds white flowers in his hands during the ritual.
