A night photograph of a stepped, tiered outdoor ritual area lined with many black stone shivalingams on red brick platforms. Many devotees in orange and saffron robes sit along the tiers, several holding brass horns or conch-like instruments to their lips, as in a rudrabhishekam. Metal railings and a grey stone floor run along the right side, and the background is dark. Several people are visible in the foreground on the left, while many others are seen in rows farther back.

A young girl in white with a vertical tilak and a gold-coloured pot-shaped vessel sits at the left, near a lingam. Behind her, rows of young devotees in orange-saffron robes stand and sit on the steps, several holding gold ceremonial vessels and pouring offerings over the lingams.
