A large dark stone lingam, the Shiva linga, stands on a black yoni-pitha base at night, decorated with an arch and swags of yellow, purple, maroon and white flower garlands. A silver-toned decorative band with a circular silver disc is mounted on the lingam's front. A metal staircase railing stands at the left, and a building with lit windows and green shrubs forms the background. A small brass plaque sits at the base, reading in English that the offering was arranged by Reshma Naik, Shridhar Mittal, Ranjit Sutani, Sanjiv Sudhir and Ashok Vasan. No people are visible.
