A large black stone Shivalingam is adorned with a thick garland of marigolds and multicoloured flowers in yellow, orange, purple and white, with a flower-decorated base, standing in an open outdoor courtyard. Beside it a tall white metal staircase scaffold rises to a platform where several saffron-robed monks stand and sit, one at the top in a seated position with a dark garland. Other saffron-clad figures stand on the steps and a few people in white are visible in the audience area below the platform. Tiered brick seating and a concrete wall with a tree sit behind the scene under a clear pale sky.
