A large dark grey stone lingam, decorated with a garland of yellow and red flowers around its curved top and a silver yoni-style band with a round silver plate at its centre, is being bathed by liquid flowing down its face at night. Above it on a raised platform stand three men: two bald priests in saffron-orange cloth, and a central figure in white ritual clothing with a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, holding a small vessel. Behind them a building facade is decorated with strings of green, red, blue and purple lights.
