A large dark black stone lingam, glistening with liquid running down its surface, is dressed with a garland of white, red, green and yellow flowers arranged along its rounded top and edge. Silver strips with ornate patterns and a circular silver disc encircle its lower section. Behind it, on a metal staircase platform at night, three men in saffron-orange and red robes stand; the central figure holds a brass vessel and a rudraksha mala, while the two flanking figures are partly visible in shadow.
