Night photograph of a huge Shiva lingam, its dark polished surface ringed with garlands of yellow marigolds, white flowers and purple-and-orange fabric draped across its base. Two steel stairways rise on the left, with brass pots and vessels set on the steps. On the upper platform, two men in saffron-orange cloth stand near the top, and one holds a lit flame. A decorated tent with coloured bunting and string lights sits to the right against the dark sky.
