A large dark brown Shiva lingam stands on a black yoni-pitha base, draped with a long garland of multicoloured marigold and flower strands in red, yellow, white and green. A bright striped ceremonial umbrella with fringe tops a white metal platform on a stair-like scaffold. On the platform, a bare-chested man with long dark hair wears an orange-red cloth and stands beside a lingam-side attendant, while further figures in white dhotis and orange cloths climb the stairs. Tall trees and a turquoise-railed structure appear behind. Lower right, several people in orange robes gather at the base.
