Night-time photo of a row of black stone Shivalingams, each wrapped in white cloth, at an outdoor temple. Two women in white saris with gold borders bend forward over the lingams, one with hands joined in prayer and a rudraksha-style bead necklace visible. A third person in a purple garment stands further back near another lingam.
