Behind it on the platform sit three people: a central man in white ritual clothes with a rudraksha mala and a white shawl, flanked by two young attendants in saffron/orange robes. The red stepped terraces and a red building with windows form the background, with string lights strung across the scene. Whether the central seated man is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so his identity is left unsure.2016-03-07August 11 20142014-08-11A large dark black Shivalinga is adorned with a flower garland in red, yellow, purple, white and green, and horizontal silver tripundra bands across its front.
