Outdoor photo of a large dark grey dome-shaped stone lingam on a red-tiled raised platform with steps. Draped across its top is a long garland of marigold and rose flowers in red, white, yellow and green. Behind it stands a single person in an orange-brown shawl over a bare upper body, wearing layered gold-toned and beaded necklaces, a red bindi and an upswept dark hairstyle, facing forward with eyes lowered. Behind them are a white railing, a pile of pale stones, a red-roofed building and a tall banner with red and white patterns.
