A large black Shiva lingam is decorated with a silver band and a multicolored garland of red, yellow, purple and white flowers draped over its top. On a raised metal platform with a staircase and red-and-white garland rails, a man with long dark hair and an orange garment performs aarti, holding a lit flame, with a red garland around his neck. Several men in orange and saffron robes stand behind and beside him, and one partially visible person in orange is at the lower left. The scene appears to be an outdoor puja or abhishekam on a tall lingam structure under an overcast sky.
