Night photograph of a large dark lingam with a flower garland (red, yellow and white) arching over its top, being bathed in water from above. A man in an orange-red turban and orange garment with a gold-bead necklace stands on a white metal stairway platform at the lingam's top, pouring from a golden vessel. A second man in white dhoti with tilak and bare upper body stands beside him, and a third figure sits on a lower platform. Three-striped white and gold-decorated horizontal markings are on the lingam face. Green string lights, a red-and-orange flag, and an orange canopy with a brass kalasha in the foreground surround the scene; a camera crane is visible at left.
