Night photograph of a large black stone shivalinga wrapped with a garland of yellow and red flowers, decorated with three silver horizontal bands and a round silver disc on its front, standing on a dark carved yoni-pitha base. Water streams down the lingam. Above, on a metal staircase platform, several men in saffron and white ritual clothes stand and perform the rite; one in a saffron shawl with rudraksha beads looks upward, while another in white holds a small brass vessel. Their faces are not clearly visible, so no identification is made.
