A weathered stone lingam or yoni-shaped carved stone sits on a worn, dirt-covered floor beside a stone wall, surrounded by dry brown leaves and dark crevices. Dim light reveals pitted, lichen-spotted stone. At lower left, the blurred edge of a person's head or hair and a red-rimmed object are visible. No people are clearly in focus; the scene appears to be an archaeological temple ruin with a shrine stone.
