A bare-chested man with a shaved, tilak-marked forehead sits cross-legged on a raised steel platform atop a large dark grey Shiva lingam. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and a long rudraksha mala. The lingam is draped with a garland of red, orange, yellow and white flowers and decorated with painted white and red sun and serpent motifs. A steel staircase with handrails leads up to the platform, where a brass vessel and a yellow flower offering sit beside him. A stone wall and pale sky form the background.
