Four young women in saffron-orange saris with pink borders sit on stone steps beside black Shivalingams, several of which are visible on tiers behind them. They hold golden conical horns. A small metal pot and a steel bowl sit on the steps, and a wire cable runs across the stonework. The scene resembles an abhishekam of lingams, with no a person visible in the image.
