A night-time photograph of a large dark stone Shiva lingam, its tall rounded form wrapped in bands of marigold garlands in orange and yellow with purple, maroon and white flower strands. Two priests stand on a white metal staircase beside it: the one at the top, bare-chested in a white cloth, pours water from a brass vessel over the lingam, while another priest stands near the base. Water runs down the stone and the staircase. Strings of lights glow at the lower right against a black sky, and a small bird logo sits in the upper left corner.
