Dusk outdoor scene at a stepped amphitheatre with red-brown tiered seating and metal railed walkways. Several monks in saffron-orange robes stand on the metal staircase and platform near a large black Shivalinga, which is draped with a garland of red, yellow and green flowers. A bird flies across the cloudy sky, and a tree and low wall frame the background. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance; they are shown as robed monks at a Shivalinga abhishekam-style setting.
