A large black Shivalinga is decorated with heavy garlands of marigold and mixed flowers in yellow, orange, red and white, draped over its curved top and down its sides. A tiered skirt of orange and multicoloured floral strings surrounds its base.

Behind it, a tiered red-brick wall is lined with many small black lingams. On a raised metal scaffold at the left, several men in saffron-orange robes stand and sit; one bare-chested man stands with folded arms, and two seated figures wear orange garments with garlands.
