A large dark grey cylindrical lingam stands in the foreground, wrapped with a garland of multicoloured flowers in red, orange, yellow, purple, green and white that arcs over its top. Beside it, a metal staircase with railings leads up to a platform where several figures in saffron-orange robes stand. A person with long dark hair, wearing an orange garment and a red floral garland, stands at the top gesturing with one hand. Beside them a bald priest in orange robes and a beaded necklace holds his palms together. Another orange-robed man with a bead necklace stands lower on the stairs, hands folded in front of him. Several white floral garlands drape the railings. The sky is pale and overcast.
