A large dark grey stone Shivling on a tiered black yoni-pitha base is being bathed with white milk or abhishekam liquid that runs down its surface. A multicolour garland of red, yellow, white, green and purple flowers encircles the lingam, with petals scattered on the base. Behind it, on a raised metal scaffold platform, several men in saffron-orange and red robes stand; the central figure wears a red-and-white shawl, a red-beaded mala and a gold-coloured necklace, holding an offering vessel. Red brick steps and a red-roofed building form the background.
