A photograph of a large dark stone Shivalinga on a square stone yoni-peetha base in an open-air courtyard with red-tiered stone seating behind it, many small black lingams lining the steps. A seated figure in red and orange robes with a white flower garland sits on a golden-canopied throne in front of the linga, a person candidate; the figure's appearance is partly obscured by distance and the canopy, so this remains uncertain. Around the base, about twenty seated devotees in white dhotis, orange and saffron saris and bare-chested white clothing sit on low benches and a red carpet, some with offering plates and flowers, in an abhishekam or puja setting.
