Night photograph of a large black stone Shivalinga on a raised circular black platform, decorated with a yellow and orange marigold garland draped around its upper arch and silver tripundra-style bands across its face. Above, on a railed elevated platform in front of a tiered brick wall with lamp niches, three people in traditional attire stand near the top of the lingam: one in a red-brown garment, a central figure in white with a sacred thread, and one in orange-saffron cloth. Water flows down the lingam's surface, and a lit lamp glows at its centre. Dark background with a tiered wall of small lit lamps on the right.

Several robed figures in saffron-orange clothing stand on a raised balcony platform at the top of the tall stadium-like structure behind, partly visible in the dim light. Empty tiered seating stretches on both sides, and a multi-storey building forms the dark backdrop.
