A large stone lingam is draped in dense garlands of marigolds and flowers in yellow, orange, purple, magenta and white, with a tall floral crown-like top and striped flower skirts around its base. In front, a figure seated on a gold-framed throne wears a red and orange cloth and is seated near the lingam's base. Tiered rows of seated spectators fill the stepped amphitheatre on both sides, with a row of carved stone figures lining the left side, a red-walled building behind and a tree at right. This appears to be a lingam abhishekam-style floral adornment in an outdoor ceremony.
