A large smooth golden-brown Shiva lingam stands on a stone yoni base, draped with a long multicolour flower garland in red, white, yellow, green and purple, with an orange cloth hanging over its top. Two people in saffron and orange garments stand on an elevated metal platform at the top right, and a man in white dhoti and shawl climbs the metal staircase beside it. Seated devotees in white and light clothing, some in saffron, sit on stone steps in the lower left, and a camera on a tripod stands at the bottom left. Trees and open sky form the background. The setting suggests an outdoor abhishekam or puja at a temple courtyard.
