A large dark stone lingam, a Shiva linga, stands on a black yoni-shaped pedestal in an open courtyard, draped with multicoloured garlands of marigold and white flowers in red, yellow, green and purple. A woman in a dark red sari stands at the left of the pedestal, one hand resting on its edge. Two seated figures in red-cloth niches with gold arches appear at the sides, one adorned with a white garland. Behind is a red multi-storey building, a tall tree, a striped red and white base, and a small umbrella with coloured fringe above. Small pots and potted plants sit at the right edge. The shot is taken from below, with a polished white stone face set into the linga.
