A photograph of a Shiva lingam set beneath a large banyan tree, its roots and trunks visible in the background. The lingam is draped in an orange-gold silk cloth with a woven floral pattern and is garlanded with white flower strands and red roses. A yellow marigold-like flower sits on its front face, with three horizontal lines marked on the surface. The ground is dusty and patchy with sunlight. No people are clearly visible, only a white-clad edge at the lower left corner.
