A large black stone Shivling stands on a raised platform inside a tiered compound lined with rows of small dark lingams on red brick steps. A flower garland in red and yellow hangs around the lingam's upper shaft. On the metal scaffolding stairs at the upper left, several people in saffron-orange robes stand and sit, and a figure in orange at the top right appears to be seated on the scaffold. Below, two people in orange robes stand near a golden arched frame beside brass vessels. An empty gold and red-cushioned throne sits at the right base of the lingam. The scene suggests an abhishekam ceremony at the lingam.
