A photograph of a large black stone Shivling on a black yoni-peetha base, set in the foreground of an open-air amphitheatre with tiered red-brown seating. The Shivling is draped with a multicoloured garland and has a white rectangular label on its front. A white railing with red and white ribbon-style decoration runs up the steps at left. Bunting in red, yellow, orange and purple is strung across the background, and a red multi-storey building stands behind. A bronze nandi-like figure is not visible; a dark stone figure in the lower foreground may be a second deity form. No people are visible.
